Madame de Rayne 2016 – Sauternes

The nose is aromatic, fruity, well-built and precise. It reveals notes of candied lemon, crystallized tangerine and small notes of flowers (lilac, honeysuckle) associated with small touches of lychee, exotic fruits as well as a very discreet hint of ginger and nuts. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, fluidity, suavity, gourmandise, elegance as well as finesse, a good finesse of the grain and a small acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of candied lemon, crystalline tangerine and small notes of quenette associated with small touches of kumquat, honey and a very discreet hint of white flowers (in the background). There is a discreet hint of vanilla on the finish. Good length.
