The 2015 vintage gives it wonderful richness and concentration, but what impresses me most is the freshness that runs through the wine. Too often sweet wines are unfairly overlooked, yet when served properly they can create some of the most memorable food and wine pairings imaginable. Whether enjoyed with Roquefort, foie gras or simply as a special treat at the end of a meal, this bottle offers extraordinary complexity and elegance. For anyone wanting to discover the magic of Sauternes, this is a fantastic place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"51 Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57387287675263,"sku":"00013","price":20.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7950\/1695\/files\/4193574491.jpg?v=1776780220","url":"https:\/\/51wines.uk\/products\/domaine-de-la-chapelle","provider":"51Wines Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
