The 2020 Château Audinet Sauternes is a beautifully balanced sweet Bordeaux crafted predominantly from Sémillon, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Produced from vineyards influenced by the morning mists of the Ciron River, it showcases luscious fruit, vibrant freshness and the rich complexity that define the Sauternes appellation. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of apricot, peach and candied citrus, complemented by notes of acacia honey, orange blossom, vanilla and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is luscious and full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity balancing its sweetness, delivering flavours of ripe apricot, pineapple, baked peach and marmalade layered with hints of honey, crème brûlée, toasted almond and delicate botrytis complexity. The finish is long, silky and beautifully balanced, combining richness with freshness and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Sauternes for customers seeking a luxurious dessert wine with exceptional balance and versatility. Enjoy lightly chilled now or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years. Ideal with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée or simply enjoyed on its own as a decadent after-dinner wine.
