The wine shows a lovely pale golden color with deep golden highlights. Round and well-balanced offering complex aromas of candied fruits backed up by a hint of exotic fruit (mango, guava) and white flowers. On the palate, it is ample and fleshy, leading into a silky and long finish.
The wine pairs well with white meats, scallops, exotic and spicy dishes, foie Gras, Roquefort blue cheese, chocolate desserts.
"The 2015 Château Gravas is an outstanding Sauternes based on 95% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc brought up in barrel. Its lively gold color is followed by textbook notes of sautéed apple and baking spice aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied, nicely textured, has plenty of fruit, and is incredibly well-made. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years or so."
