A benchmark example of a traditional French dessert wine, this luscious and elegant sweet white from the Graves district of Bordeaux showcases the complexity and richness that noble rot can bring. Beautifully honeyed and floral, it balances sweetness with freshness, making it both indulgent and refined.

Meet the Producer

For over a decade, Boutinot has partnered with leading Bordeaux négociant Ginestet to craft high-quality wines that express the character of Bordeaux’s finest appellations.

Production

The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Graves district, where noble rot (botrytis) is encouraged to naturally concentrate sugars and flavours. Hand-harvested late in the vintage, the fruit is carefully selected through multiple passes in the vineyard to ensure only the best botrytised grapes are picked. Gentle pressing preserves the delicate flavours and floral aromatics.

Tasting Notes

A classic botrytis character on the nose: richly floral, honeyed, and lifted with hints of saffron. The palate is smooth and opulent, with notes of barley sugar, honeysuckle, and bittersweet mandarin, finishing with a lingering freshness.

Food Match

Serve well-chilled with fruit- or cream-based desserts. A superb partner to blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton.

Grape Varieties

Sémillon 75%, Sauvignon Blanc 20%, Muscadelle 5%
