Tasting Note:
Château Haut Claverie Sauternes 2020 offers a radiant golden hue tinged with copper reflections, a visual promise of its richness. The bouquet is both delicate and captivating, opening with aromas of candied orange peel and honeyed florals. On the palate, it delivers luscious flavours of orange marmalade, spiced gingerbread, and a vibrant touch of tart candy on the finish, bringing lift and balance to its opulent profile.
A model of harmony between richness and freshness, this cuvée beautifully expresses the complexity born of Noble Rot and meticulous winemaking.
Best served at 8°C, it’s an exceptional companion to pâté on mini toasts, dark chocolate tart, tarte tatin, crêpes, or savoury blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton.
A wine of both indulgence and precision, it can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 8 years to further develop its seductive bouquet and velvety depth. This is a world class elixir from some of the best terroir in the greatest sweet wine area on Earth.
