Ample and elegant
- Situated just 1.5 kilometres from Château d'Yquem, this domaine benefits from the same exceptional terroir that defines the Sauternes appellation. The proximity to one of Bordeaux's most celebrated estates speaks to the quality of the vineyard's location and microclimate.
- This moelleux achieves a commendable equilibrium between the natural richness of botrytised fruit and a refreshing acidity that prevents cloying. The result is a wine of considerable refinement and balance, neither heavy-handed nor thin.
- The wine's inherent sweetness and acidity make it a natural companion to fruit-based desserts. An apricot tart would be particularly well-suited, allowing the wine's citrus notes to complement the fruit's natural tartness.

In the mouth
The palate echoes the nose's exotic fruit character, balanced by a pleasant acidity that brings definition and freshness. Candied citrus notes emerge on the finish, providing a clean conclusion that lingers without heaviness.
On the nose
Exotic fruits dominate the bouquet, with tropical notes that speak to the influence of noble rot. The aromatics are inviting without being overpowering, revealing layers as the wine opens.
On the eye
Golden straw hue with luminous reflections, suggesting concentration and age-worthiness.
Breeding
Stainless steel vat
Sauternes of this calibre has long been the traditional accompaniment to foie gras, and Château Quincarnon upholds this classic pairing admirably. The wine's sweetness and complexity complement the richness of the liver whilst its acidity cuts through the fat, cleansing the palate between bites. This is wine in its classical context.
