"This Sauternes is youthful and vibrant. Time in the cellar will allow it to develop further, gaining complexity and depth. This 750ml full-size bottle has many years ahead of it, though its youthful charm makes it hard to resist now. With age, it will evolve, adding more nuanced tertiary tones to its ebullient nature."
Le Tertre du Lys d’Or is a négociant bottling, selected from a very prestigious estate in Sauternes. These barrels don’t make the cut for the estate’s own wine (which sells for four figures!), but they hint at their illustrious source. Believed to be declassified from one of the most prestigious sweet wine estates on the planet, this wine is a treasure for those in the know.
