Cuvée d'Exception Sauternes Le Tertre du Lys d'Or
Cuvée d'Exception Sauternes Le Tertre du Lys d'Or is a classic French dessert wine in half bottles, golden yellow in color, and crafted like a true sweet Sauternes with rich layers. At Perfectewijn, you'll find this Sauternes as an elegant end to a dinner, with a balance of rich sweetness and refreshing acidity. What exactly is Le Tertre du Lys d'Or? It's a sweet Sauternes from Bordeaux, made from 100% Sémillon, full of candied fruit, floral, and honey notes, with a remarkably fresh backbone.
Vineyards and region
Le Tertre du Lys d'Or hails from France, from Bordeaux, in the Sauternes appellation. This region in the south of the Bordeaux region is world-renowned for concentrated dessert wines that are simultaneously sweet and refreshing. The style of this wine reflects that tradition, with a golden yellow color and distinct aromas of candied fruit, white flowers, and honey. Thanks to the combination of ripeness and acidity, the wine has excellent aging potential, making it suitable not only for drinking young but also after several years in the bottle.
Vinification and maturation
Sauternes Le Tertre du Lys d'Or was crafted as a dessert wine with a distinctly sweet flavor profile and 13.5% alcohol. In the cellar, the focus is on preserving the rich fruit aromas and finding the ideal balance between residual sweetness and crisp acidity, ensuring the wine is full-bodied and rounded without becoming heavy. The result is a layered Sauternes that is already a pleasure to drink, but its concentration also allows it to develop further in the cellar.
Grape composition
Sémillon – Sauternes
Sémillon makes up 100% of this Sauternes, providing the golden yellow colour, rich notes of candied fruit and honey, and the soft structure so characteristic of classic dessert wines from this part of Bordeaux.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
In the glass, it reveals a beautiful golden yellow color. The nose reveals intense aromas of candied fruit, white flowers, and a distinct hint of honey, which are perfectly reflected in the palate. The wine is full-bodied and rounded, with a distinctly sweet character supported by crisp acidity, making it elegant and not cloying. The finish is long and layered, again revealing sweet fruit, honey, and a fresh, invigorating note. Serve Le Tertre du Lys d'Or at around 8-10°C (46-50°F) with orange-flavored desserts such as crêpes Suzette, lemon tart, meringues, and almond cake, or pair it with bold blue cheeses like Roquefort and Bleu d'Auvergne for a classic sweet-salty contrast.
