Chateau du Juge Cadillac 2012

Concentrated apricot, honeycomb and elderflower aromas lead to flavours of fresh peaches and honey with balanced sweetness.

Producer Note

The Medeville family runs this exceptional Domaine in the Cadillac region of Bordeaux. Olivier Medeville is an experienced winemaker with an international pedigree. His aim is to make modern, fruit-driven wines that represent excellent value for money.

Vineyard

The grapes were hand picked at different stages from the 38 year old vines where noble rot, or botrytis, was allowed to develop. The vines are grown in alluvial soils.

Winemaking

All three varieties were vinified and then aged separately in tanks for 12 months before being blended. The wine was then aged in bottle for eight to 12 months.

Tasting Note

Shows great versatility with concentrated apricot, honeycomb and floral aromas, an unctuous palate, oozing with peaches and honey with refreshing acidity. A good all round dessert wine that's great value for money and almost identical in style to it's neighbours in Sauternes and Barsac.

Serving Suggestion

An excellent partner for Gorgonzola with pear and goats' cheese.

Grape

Semillon 90%, Muscadelle 5%, Sauvignon Blanc 5%
