The golden vintage. This year was marked by a hot period throughout July. Hopefully, the rain appeared at the beginning of August. It was the perfect association between sunshine and rain for our vineyard well being. Thanks to that our grape grew up and acquired an exceptional maturity with a perfect fungus. The harvest started on the 27th August with our Professional workers team. As usual, the harvests are manual and realized by successive tries according to the “ Sauternaise tradition”.

Tasting
With a beautiful golden yellow color, this vintage 2015 reveals a complex and intense nose. The first nose presents some aromas such as white flowers, grapefruit and almond notes. More specifically, a blend of white flowers combined with citrus fruits as well as a slight toasted key. The taste unveils a delightful sweet and velvety texture thanks to pure fungus. The strength of this Sigalas Rabaud specified with a nice long lasting mouth and with a sweet attack. The fine acidic finish leaves a lovely sensation of freshness on the palate.

Press reviews
“ Très joli parfum complexe délivrant une note d’ananas confit. Son toucher délicat nous séduit. Un vin aérien et plein, savoureux et nuancé. Si la part du terroir reste perceptible, une liqueur juste lui permet d’exprimer une multitude de nuances. Belle finale saline, longue et intense ”
La Revue du Vin de France
“ Nez sur la crème brûlée et les fruits exotiques. Bouche onctueuse, au volume généreux et au velouté superbe Finale ample avec une sensation rémanente de fraîcheur d’agrumes confits ”
