Browse by Grape - Semillon
The 'other' main white grape of Bordeaux, responsible for the extraordinary richness of dry whites such as Haut Brion Blanc and the incredibly intense dessert wines such as Yquem. In its dry style it has a rich grapefruit flavour, but is excellent for sweet dessert wines because of its susceptibility to botrytis or 'Noble Rot'.

Straw-yellow colour with shiny tints. A very fruity nose with aromas of peach and exotic fruits. A lively wine which has a supple and soft final.

The 2021 blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris and 10% Semillon. The wine is fermented in barriques and then aged in the same for six months, which gives texture, body, and fullness to match the citrus notes. Lovely length and tightness to the palate ensure that this will cellar for a good few years, but not absolutely necessary.

Quite subdued but with herbal notes and lemony fruit. Restrained, elegant but ultimately a little lighter than some sauternes. Still very good and reflective of a very good vintage.

A denser, richer Filhot this year filled with wonderful concentration. Creme caramel and dried apricot. Sufficient acidity to carry the richness and very long finish. A great value Sauternes.

Fantastic dessert wine - peach, citrus, caramel and vanilla are evident in this wine. It has a lingering finish. Very ripe and pure. A top vintage which will cellar well for another 10 years.
