2022 Château Haut-Mayne Sauternes 375mL

85% Sémillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc, all sustainably farmed.  Château Haut-Mayne is located on a plateau in Preignac in the northern part of the Sauternes appellation. The estate is owned by The Roumazeilles family, who also owns the nearby Château Grillon. The vineyard is comprised of 25 acres planted on clay and limestone. The grapes are picked during three or four passes through the vineyards, with a further sorting just before pressing. The wine endures a very long maceration and then is barreled for 18 months. The wine has lovely notes of dried apricot and honey, buttressed by lovely underlying acidity. To be enjoyed as a holiday treat (or any time) with a cheese course, foie gras, or desserts like pumpkin pie or crème brûlée.
