I'm reminded of two things: what a great value this was (although the days when I could get this 375ml for $18 are, alas, gone); and how much more interesting mature Sauternes is.More focused, and more easily absorbing wood,this is tight and a little tense, with big flavor on the finish. Nowhere close to dying, of course.

Newer years are about $55 per half if you're wondering. This year might be available for not much more at auction, but backfilling is always risky.

🌊 Ciron, souffle vivant et bien commun

🚣‍♂️ Hier j'ai descendu sur 20 km en canoë entre Préchac et Bommes le Ciron.

🍇 Ce joyau qui façonne les brumes du Sauternes

⚠️ Menacé par la LGV, il est désormais reconnu comme bien commun.

💧 Préserver le Ciron, c’est défendre un héritage naturel et culturel.
