Sauternes 2014 Half Bottle 375ml

The image on the front label depicts the 18th century wishing well situated at Château Coutet, producer of Harvey Nichols' own label Sauternes, which is one of the Classified First Growths of 1855 and one of the oldest estates in the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux. Local geography, climate and years of tradition combine to produce this handcrafted “golden wine”.

This wine is a blend of Semillon (75%), Sauvignon Blanc (23%) and Muscadelle (2%) grapes which are painstakingly harvested by hand and then fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. This 2014 vintage expression displays aromas of acacia flowers, citrus and honey, with a refreshing and vibrant core characterised by further notes of citrus, apricot, white peach, quince, candied fruit and a discrete touch of oak.

Delicious served chilled as an apéritif, our own label sweet wine is also an excellent accompaniment to Asian-inspired cuisine, makes a versatile match for a varied cheese board and a perfect partner to fruit based desserts.

It’s also worth noting what a highly sought-after vintage 2014 is. Jancis Robinson described it as “a triumph for Sauternes in this vintage”, noting that “some observers are even calling it the best vintage since the turn of the century.” The wine critics heaped praise upon Château Coutet’s 2014 wines, making the Harvey Nichols Sauternes even more desirable.
