It opens with a generous bouquet of acacia honey, syruped apricot and candied orange peel, in which the subtle presence of botrytis (noble rot) can be sensed, adding richness and depth. The color is a luminous golden, and in the glass the texture shows a delicate viscosity that invites a sip. On the nose there are also light notes of ginger and toasted almond that make the profile more complex without weighing it down; the texture is silky, with an enveloping sweetness balanced by a freshness that keeps the wine lifted.

On the palate it confirms a balanced structure: the sip is soft but vibrant, supported by lively acidity and a pleasing salinity that prolongs the finish. The impression is rich but never cloying, with a clean, citrusy finish that invites a second taste. This Sauternes knows how to accompany without overpowering — ideal with foie gras or blue cheeses, but it also works excellently with creamy desserts, nut tarts or simple fruit pies. The 375 ml bottle is perfect for two; serve chilled, around 8-10 °C.

Winery history
Proprietà storicamente legata alla famiglia Cameleyre/Roumazeilles (segnalata come presente dal 1925 nelle guide locali) e passata sotto la gestione del gruppo Bordeaux Vineam in anni recenti; registrata ufficialmente come SCEA Du Château Grillon per l'esercizio viticolo a Barsac. Le descrizioni commerciali e guide enologiche ne evidenziano un passato da piccola proprietà familiare con continuità produttiva nei vini di Barsac/Sauternes.
Production philosophy
Valorizzare il terroir di Barsac e lo sviluppo naturale della 'pourriture noble' (Botrytis cinerea) attraverso vendemmie selettive manuali, vinificazione in barriques e vasche di cemento e pratiche agricole biologiche dichiarate dal proprietario attuale.
Terroir and vineyards
Vigneto situato sulla parte elevata e calcarea del plateau di Barsac, vicino al corso del Ciron: condizioni che favoriscono le brume mattutine e lo sviluppo del Botrytis tipico dei vini liquorosi di Sauternes/Barsac. Suolo argillo-calcareo con densità dichiarata intorno a 7000 ceppi/ha.
