On the palate, Château d’Armajan is bright. Thick and full bodied, it features dried apricot and sweet orange peel, with almond blossom and honey. With butterscotch being revealed on the nice finish, it’s sweet but not overbearing.” Jacques and Guillaume Perromat. Serve with « foie gras », cheeses like French Roquefort, or at the aperitif.

A sure bet for the appellation, it is the flagship of the estate. Since 1820 it is the passionate work of a succession of 9 generations with a selection of historic Sauternes terroirs adjoining for some its illustrious neighbor Château Yquem. The 2000s marked a change of style with an incessant search for balance combining intensity, fruit, freshness and length.

(French: [ʃɑto d ikɛm]) is a Premier Cru Supérieur (Fr: "Superior First Growth") wine from the Sauternes, Gironde region in the southern part of the Bordeaux vineyards known as Graves. In the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, Château d'Yquem was the only Sauternes given this rating, indicating its perceived superiority and higher prices over all other wines of its type. Yquem's success stems largely from the site's susceptibility to attack by "noble rot" (Botrytis cinerea).

This Sauternes Château Le Juge appeals for his aromatic freshness and sharpness and citrus hints. In the mouth, the volume is wonderful with hints of honey. The finish is very elegant.” Jacques and Guillaume Perromat, winemakers of Perromat Winery. Serve with « foie gras », blue cheeses like French Roquefort, or at the aperitif.

Originally conceived in 1995 by Sauternes expert Bill Blatch with the négociant firm Vintex, La Fleur d’Or combines top notch parcels of wine from small lesser-known properties as well as some from classified châteaux. The vineyards of the numerous small estates are mostly in Barsac, where the misty morning microclimate encourages the growth of Botrytis cinerea. The average age of the vines is approximately 35 years, and the soils are predominately red ferruginous (iron-rich) clay with some gravel. The botrytized grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is traditionally vinified in small steel vats. The wine is then aged for one year in barrels, followed by an additional year in stainless steel vats. The final blend is always lively and fresh, with the hallmark notes of botrytis – a perfect wine for no fuss consumption.

From 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc, the wine smells great with its nutty, pineapple, vanilla and lemon custard aromatic profile. Fresh and zippy, the wine is rich, fat, sweet, and dense with the right amount of acidity to keep all that sweetness in check.
