Honey in a glass. You had better enjoy sweetness.

Was the 1st dessert wine we tried to rate, which was a little difficult as our prior experience was a couple of bottles for supermarket sauternes. Lovely yellow golden hue, with chrysanthemum, jasmine a touch of mineral on the nose. Sweet but not coying, tasting of light treacle and maple syrup. Some acidity which makes it rather refreshing. We enjoyed it as a lovely, simple dessert wine.

An expensive (overpriced?) treat at £15 but at the angels' price I'd say this is good value given the extra 20cl compared to many other dessert wines. Not syrupy, sickly sweet like many dessert wines - some people have said this is "thin", I'd say his is just how it should be rather than that horrible £4 a bottle Spainish stuff you get at the off-licence. A lovely aroma of elderflower water which continues on the palate, with jut a slight touch of acidity, makes this a real pleasure. Well done Dominique!

I really enjoyed this well chilled on a warm summers day. Fabulous nose of sultanas and lychee and a delicious palate with just a lick of acidity.
Not the most complex wine but as a summer aperitif it was very enjoyable.
