Soleil d'Arche shows a deep gold color in the glass with aromas of apricot, peaches, botrytis and vanilla. The palate is soft and smooth with lovely concentration of ripe fruit flavors and a subtle acidity that allows the flavors to flow gently across the palate into a finish dominated by honey and rocks. A lovely Sauternes to enjoy after a meal with a dessert of lemon pudding cake.
