"The Sauternes of the Pichon Baron/Axa stable. An intense wine of honey and marmalade, orange rind and saffron. Botrytis only set in at the end of October, from 24th-27th, but waiting for the final passes through the vineyard has paid off. Cropped at a mere 7hl/ha. 13.5% abv. 190g/l RS – the most concentrated Suduiraut ever.
