André Siffert founded Domaine Siffert in 1792. Napoleon was then a twenty-three year old artillery officer in the French army. Bonapartist glory has long since faded but André's ancestors, currently represented by Maurice Siffert, continue to create golden hued wines of distinction with tremendous flair and brilliance.

| Exotic aromas of oriental fruits and a rich and intense unctuosity induce sensations of sultry
and delectable decadence. Shakespeare must have drunk this before he quilled off 'Anthony and Cleopatra'. Inspiring stuff! |

| This is a logical extension of the Tokay Pinot Gris 'Excellence'. Rich, mellow and sumptuous,
with a long and esoteric finish on the palate. Ideal partner with foie gras. |

'The late-harvested Vendange Tardive wines of Alsace are made from fully ripened fruit, and are powerful, rich and large-scaled wines. The levels of concentration and extract can be majestic. The best of these offerings are superlative expressions of winemaking and can provide thrilling as well as provocative drinking. A little known fact is that they frequently age longer and more gracefully than France’s premier and grand cru white Burgundies.' (Robert Parker. The Wine Buyer’s Guide 2002.)
Incredible golden colour with aromas and flavours of honeysuckle, mangoes and lychees, and a rich and intense finish. Superb! |
