17 Rene Gabriel
Leuchtendes Gelb mit goldenen Reflexen. Delikates Bouquet, Safran, Orangenblüten, frische, reife Aprikosen, vielschichtiger Ansatz. Im Gaumen saftig, schmelzendes Extrakt, Curcuma, gelbe Ananas, dezent exotische Fruchtanklänge, endet sogar mit einem Passionsfruchttouch. Gehört zu den Besseren. trinken (2010 - 2035)

There is a slight greenish hue to the light to moderate gold color of this very complex style of wine. Honeyed citrus, creme brulee, orange peel, and some tropical fruit are present in this elegant yet full-bodied wine that reminds me of a poor person’s version of the great Climens. The acidity is very good, balancing out the wine’s moderate sweetness. Anticipated maturity: now-2030.

Pretty sweet-and-sour aromas of pineapple, apricot and spices. Full-bodied, sweet and tasty, with lots of pineapple and apple character and a flavorful finish. Best after 2012. –JS

Château de Malle
Ranked as a Grand Cru Classé, Château de Malle is also a historic monument found in Sauternes. Open to the public, this estate is surrounded by magnificent Italian styled gardens. Stretching over some of the most sought after land of three communes, Preignac, Toulenne and Fargues, the vineyards straddle the two great appellations, the Graves and the Fargues. After the sudden passing of her husband in the late 1980s, Comtesse de Bournazel has produced exemplary Sauternes ever since. The 55-hectare property is covered by Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle vines. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested to ensure top-maturity, before starting the vinification where the wine is aged in small new-oak barrels for 30 months. The resulting wines are fine and elegant examples of the region, growing in opulence and intensity vintage after vintage. Balanced between fullness and finesse, the Grand Vin De Malle is a very aromatic white, with hints of ripe apricot, lime blossom and acacia honey.
