Cazalis de LCC Organic Sauternes 2018

Description

Superb organic Sauternes from old Sémillon vines (average 70 years old) on a single 5 hectare plot in Barsac.

Owner and oenologist Marie-Pierre Lacoste ensures sustainable viticulture is practiced across the vineyard, with manual harvesting as individual plots reach optimal ripeness. Fermentation is carried out in a mixture of temperature-controlled stainless steel and oak, with maturation in French oak barrels for 18 months.

Bright, honeyed gold with a sweet nose of tropical fruits and candied citrus peel. Creamy and rich, Cazalis is an elegant, well balanced Sauternes, not too sweet, with exotic flavours of pineapple and passionfruit, orange peel and nectarine, freshened by a lovely lemony lift on the finish.

Pair with paté, blue cheeses or not-too-sweet desserts, or just on its own instead of dessert at the end of a good meal.
