Tours des Verdots Doux 2020

An expressive and beautifully complex sweet wine from Vignoble des Verdots, made from Sémillon and Muscadelle and aged for four years in barrel. Golden with copper highlights, it opens with an intense bouquet of candied lemon, honey and exotic fruit, balanced by a lovely sense of freshness. The palate is smooth and velvety yet surprisingly airy, with luscious notes of gourmet vanilla and ripe fruit. Generously sweet but beautifully balanced, it finishes with remarkable length and elegance.
