Description

Appearance
Deep golden amber with a warm, luminous glow. Viscous legs indicate richness and concentration, typical of a mature Sauternes.

Nose
Luscious honey, candied orange peel, and dried apricot form the primary aromatics. Subtle tertiary notes of almond, toffee, beeswax, and hints of exotic spices emerge from careful aging, giving depth and elegance.

Palate
Silky, full-bodied texture with a balanced sweetness and bright acidity that keeps the wine lively. Flavors of marmalade, roasted nuts, and subtle vanilla blend seamlessly with tertiary notes of dried tropical fruits and light caramel, showing both complexity and harmony. Every sip reveals layers, illustrating the refined botrytized character that Château de Malle is celebrated for.

Finish
Long, persistent, and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of honeyed citrus, almond, and gentle spiced sweetness. Acidity prevents the richness from feeling heavy, making it a satisfying wine to savour slowly.
