Le Tertre du Lys d'Or hails from France, from Bordeaux, in the Sauternes appellation. This region in the south of the Bordeaux region is world-renowned for concentrated dessert wines that are simultaneously sweet and refreshing. The style of this wine reflects that tradition, with a golden yellow color and distinct aromas of candied fruit, white flowers, and honey. Thanks to the combination of ripeness and acidity, the wine has excellent aging potential, making it suitable not only for drinking young but also after several years in the bottle.
Sauternes Le Tertre du Lys d'Or was crafted as a dessert wine with a distinctly sweet flavor profile and 13.5% alcohol. In the cellar, the focus is on preserving the rich fruit aromas and finding the ideal balance between residual sweetness and crisp acidity, ensuring the wine is full-bodied and rounded without becoming heavy. The result is a layered Sauternes that is already a pleasure to drink, but its concentration also allows it to develop further in the cellar.
Sémillon – Sauternes
Sémillon makes up 100% of this Sauternes, providing the golden yellow colour, rich notes of candied fruit and honey, and the soft structure so characteristic of classic dessert wines from this part of Bordeaux.
