This is a beautifully balanced, harmonious and fresh sweet wine with captivating notes of dried apricot, marmalade, ginger and honey. Velvety smooth with a long vibrant finish, this is the perfect accompaniment to any cheese board. Drinking beautifully now but with decades of pleasure ahead of it. Vin de Constance is a wine legend, rivalling Chateau d’Yquem for quality but at a fraction of the price.

"The 2018 Vin de Constance was picked over 60 days, the second most prolonged picking since the maiden 1986 vintage. It was lightly pressed into 500-liter barrels for alcoholic fermentation, which can take up to six months, then matured on the gross lees in 60% new oak and acacia barrels. This vintage contains 172g/L residual sugar and 6.2g/L total acidity. It presents a vibrant, effervescent bouquet of freshly sliced grapefruit, fresh fig and citrus fruit, all penetrating, vivacious and tensile. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, impressive weight and notes of grapefruit and orange zest plus hints of stem ginger. The spiciness is accentuated toward the finish.
