The nose is expressive with apricot, marmalade and candied citrus; layered with honey, vanilla and botrytis-driven complexity. The palate is luscious and full; showing ripe stone fruit, orange peel and baked pineapple. Sweetness is balanced by fresh acidity; giving lift and preventing heaviness. There is a silky texture with depth and concentration; leading into a long, persistent finish of honey, spice and dried fruit. The wine shows both opulence and freshness; a classic Sauternes style with immediate appeal and ageing potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #002060;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; color: #1f3863;\"\u003eWinemaker and Winemaking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #002060;\"\u003eLe Tertre du Lys d’Or is a negotiant bottling. The wine is selected from a famed estate in Sauternes. Negociants can’t tell you their source, but they provide hints that this one is declassified from one of the most prestigious sweet wine estates in France. The 2019 vintage has been hyped as one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux in the last decade (eclipsing 10, 15 and 16 perhaps?). Meticulous vineyard management is essential to encourage the development of noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea. Harvesting is carried out by hand in successive passes; selecting only perfectly botrytised berries at optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled vessels; followed by ageing in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to build complexity and texture. The approach balances richness with precision; aiming to preserve fruit purity while enhancing the signature honeyed and spiced character of the appellation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #002060;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; color: #1f3863;\"\u003eThe Vineyards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Bookman Old Style'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #002060;\"\u003eSauternes vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate created by the Ciron and Garonne rivers; where morning mists promote botrytis and warm afternoons aid ripening. Soils are composed of gravel, clay and limestone; providing drainage while retaining sufficient moisture for vine health. The region’s history dates back several centuries; with sweet wines highly prized since the 17th century and formally classified in 1855. Careful site selection and low yields are critical; ensuring concentration, complexity and the distinctive balance of sweetness and acidity that defines Sauternes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .9pt; text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annata Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67683487875369,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/7421\/2393\/files\/2019_Le_Tertre_Du_Lys_D_Or_Sauterne.png?v=1792970511","url":"https:\/\/annata-cellars.myshopify.com\/products\/2019-le-tertre-du-lys-d-or-sauternes-bordeaux-france-750ml","provider":"Annata Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
