Le Grand Chai Sauternes (half bottle) 2006

Description
Top Sauternes like world-famous Château Yquem sell well, but little-known estates are struggling - no expense can be spared, as you have to harvest several times, only picking grapes when 'reduced' to a rich syrup by the famous 'botrytis'. Then it takes forever to age it properly!

The Syndicat de Sauternes invited Le Chai winemaker Jean-Marc Sauboua to try all these lesser-known wines and make a special blend … at an unheard-of low price.

The result? Incredibly appetising and fresh - what Sauternes is all about, with apricot, peach and lush, honeyed citrus. Locals serve Sauternes as both apéritif and with dessert; it perks up the appetite and is so intense that a thimbleful can last an hour! Lasts a week in the fridge … order yours today!
