Description/Tasting Notes:
Patricia Atkinson's sweet white wine has made her famous amongst those who have discovered this star among dessert wines. Her wine and its acclamation have created a revival in the reputation of the Saussignac appellation to such a point that it rivals its better-known neighbours in Sauternes and Barsac. The Semillon and Muscadelle grapes for the Saussignac are picked individually and under close supervision over six or seven separate picks The pressed juice is put into new oak barrels for the fermentation process. It is then aged in oak for two years. The result is the famous Clos d'Yvigne Saussignac, a wine that brings a golden splendour to the eye, an orchard of luscious fruits to the nose and a casket of sweets to the mouth: honey, apricots, vanilla, quince, oranges, butterscotch and a hint of liquorice. The intense sweetness is well balanced by the touches of natural acidity. This elegant, exceptional wine will age well. Great with a foie gras starter or with pudding or mince pies.
