Pure Sémillon is every bit as classic in Bordeaux as Sauvignon is to Sancerre and Chardonnay to Burgundy ... "Laithwaites shows what can be achieved when Sémillon stands by itself" (Financial Times). And the 9th vintage just confirms the fact.
The grapes come from Bordeaux's best vintage in "10, 50 or even 100 years" (Decanter) and Monsieur Menguin's old, hilltop vines in the historic Entre-Deux-Mers region. Ageing took place in new oak barrels and Jean-Marc Sauboua of Laithwaite Sauvignon (and Haut-Brion) fame the winemaking expertise.
Honeyed, glowing gold with lively aromas of citrus, nectarine and toasty oak. Deliciously rich, with layers of juicy lemon, pear and apricot giving way to moreish oak on the finish. Luscious chilled and great with food.
