| ESQUISSE DE NAIRAC SAUTERNES 2006 AOP, 2nd wine of Ch. Nairac |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
|
This amazing 2006 BEST BUY 1/2 bottle has a mature ambering gold colour. It has a rich. very sweet, caramilzed Seville orange marmalade nose with some tropical notes. Sweet, medium-full bodied, rich, dense, mouthfilling, bright, tropical fruit cocktail tinged, brilliant, citrusy, apricot jam flavours followed up by a lingering, tangerine creme brulee finish. Fantastic now, it can keep for another decade in a cold cellar. This delicious barrel-aged blend of 90% Sémillon, 6% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Muscadelle has 12.5% alcohol and 131 g/L residual sugar.

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This wine is sourced from vines averaging 25 years of age grown in sandy gravel, clay, and limestone rich in ocean fossils. It has all the vibrancy and freshness you want in Sauternes, with generous marmalade and quince. Drinking beautifully now, it has the potential to see 2030. |
