Sweet White Wines

Domaine de Mayat (Haut Montravel) half-bottles 3.25

A bouquet and flavours of ripe melons, honeycombs, peaches, pineapples and a frivolous frisson of coconut. Delectable!

 
Château Sainte Cecile Symphonie d’Octobre 2006 6.50
An esoteric sweet white from the Gaillac region, Toulouse-Lautrec country.  
Domaine de Cauhapé 'Ballet d'Octobre' 2005 Jurançon (half-bottles) 6.75
'Jurançon for the connoisseur.' (Daily Telegraph, April I, 2006).
France's favourite king, Henri IV, was baptised in these wines. A golden future awaits you too!
 
Domaine de Cauhapé 'Symphonie de Novembre' 2004 Jurançon (halves) 10.95
A bouquet of citric and exotic fruits merges subtly with honeyed toast and oak scented spice. The candied fruit and pineapple, quince and sweet chestnut flavours inspire a contemplative 'Wow!'  

Domaine de Cauhapé 'Noblesse du Temps' 2003 Jurançon (halves) 15.95
Silky smooth and rich with hints of quince, praline, orange peel and white truffles. 
Domaine de Cauhapé 'Quintessence' 1999 Jurançon (halves) 59.00
'Quintessence has become one of the most prestigious wines of the world.' (Guide Hachette)
Robert Parker, the renowned American wine critic, has awarded Domaine Cauhapé five star status (outstanding).
 
Château du Pradey 2005 (Sainte-Croix-Du-Mont) 7.95
The wines of this appellation are highly regarded. Honey-rich, luscious and often conveying botrytis character. 
Domaine Mas Amiel, Plénitude Maccabeu, 2002 (50 cl size) 12.95
'The 2000 Plénitude Maccabeu may be the finest wine I have tasted to date of this rarely seen varietal.' (Robert Parker).
15.5% alcohol, but surprisingly floral on the nose, apricots and peaches swirl around, and a long and expressive finale on the palate.
 
Les Cyprès de Climens 2002 (half-bottles) 17.50
The second wine of Château Climens, the number one Barsac. Five-star rating from Robert Parker.  
Domaine Touchais (Réserve des Caveaux) Coteaux-du-Layon.  
 Some of the best kept secrets in the wine world are the sweet wines produced in Anjou. These are, without doubt, the finest values to be found in French sweet wines.’ (Robert Parker ‘The Wine Buyer’s Guide’ 2002).
