VINTAGE 2014
TASTING NOTES
A distinctive intense yellow hue with golden tints. The beguilingly expressive bouquet of jammy citrus fruit and overripe tropical fruit – pineapple and mango – with fragrances of honey and floral aromas that continues onto the palate thanks to its outstanding creaminess. Beautiful balance between the freshness at the attack and the sweetness of the whole. A fine liqueur wine in which the sweetness of the fruit is heightened by the freshness of the Petit Manseng grape and which makes a great accompaniment whether for foie gras or ice cream.
AGEING
Drink within 3-5 years after the vintage. Good cellaring potential

VINTAGE 2015
TASTING NOTES
This 2015 Escoubasso is a pale yellow hue. The nose is expressive and fruity, a mixture of honey and tropical fruit: bees on an exotic voyage. On the palate, the sweet, pineapple flavours turn to acacia honey, the fluid, sugary notes ending with a hint of citrus fruit. Serve chilled as an aperitif wine, but will also make an ideal match for foie gras or desserts.

VINTAGE 2017
TASTING NOTES
A golden yellow hue evocative of warm sand. Floral fragrances and tropical fruit aromas play around the nostrils. The light, tropically flavoured palate finishes on a fresh, citrussy note. Enjoy as an aperitif, with an hors d’oeuvre of foie gras, or as a dessert wine.
