Chateau Grans Dousprat, SWEET Sainte-Croix-du-Mont 2019

Château Grans Dousprat Sainte-Croix-du-Mont 2019 (sweet white wine)

This wine is a beautiful example of how the Sainte-Croix-du-Mont area of ​​Bordeaux can deliver noble sweet wines on par with the more famous Sauternes. The vineyard is located on the characteristic limestone slopes, which give the wines a unique freshness and minerality, even in a full-bodied and sweet style.

On the nose, the wine opens with intense aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, which merge with notes of honey, acacia blossom, candied orange peel and a touch of exotic fruits . After some time in the glass, the aroma unfolds further with nuances of saffron and vanilla.

The palate is rich, round and silky , with layers upon layers of ripe fruit and honeyed sweetness. The balance between sweetness and acidity is exemplary – the natural freshness of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle gives a boost to the rich, honeyed character of Sémillon. The finish is long and harmonious , with persistent notes of dried apricots, caramelized citrus fruits and a mineral touch from the subsoil.

A wine that can be drunk now for its fruity charm or stored for several years, where it will develop deeper notes of nuts, caramel and spices.

Perfect companion to foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts or classic desserts with meringue and tropical fruits – but also exquisite on its own as a meditative glass.
