LC Sauternes (half bottle) 2019
Special parcel of magnificent Sauternes from a First Growth estate. We can't tell you the name, but it really is one of the finest. Honeyed apricot, spice and nutty complexity, with a taut backbone of citrus freshness. Great now, terrific to cellar.

What’s more, LC was one of the last vats to be excluded in the final ‘taste-through’, so was very nearly included in the Grand Vin. Mostly Sémillon with a dash of Sauvignon, every grape botrytised and fermented slowly in new oak. Gorgeously rich, honeyed and long.
