Description:

"[Laurence Faller] is one of the best winemakers in the world. She manages to capture the tiniest detail in her wines and they shine through their style, their precision of fruit, their elegance of texture and their amazing balance - they are faultless"

- Olivier Poussier, Revue de Vins de France

Sweet wine made only with botrytised berries. A stunning wine as the notes below well describe.

Stephen Tanzer: [International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2006] 96/100 "(110 g/l r.s. and 7.4 grams of acidity) Racy, spicy, rot-ennobled aromas of fresh pineapple, crystallized citrus peel, orange marmalade and honey. Glyceral-thick and silky on entry, then the bracing acids take over the palate, giving extraordinary intensity and penetration to this exhilarating wine. A great expression of pure botrytis, with a mounting, palate-staining finish that goes on for minutes. This will make for great drinking over the next 20 years. This one hit my G-spot."

Bruce Sanderson: [Wine Spectator, Nov/Dec 2007] 95/100 "The light-weight framework and silky texture carries intense tropical fruit flavors of pineapple and guava, with apple pie, orange peel and a touch of hazelnut. The tangy acidity comes across on the tangerine-laced finish."
