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 2017 Vin de Constance is lucid silvery-straw in hue. It is beautifully defined on the nose, featuring scents of dried honey, almond, praline and pressed yellow flowers, perhaps borrowing some of the airiness of the 2016 vintage. The palate is underpinned by a keen line of acidity that effortlessly counterbalances the richness of this 2017, making it one of the easiest sweet wines to drink in its youth. It conveys plenty of energy with a very persistent orange peel, quince and marmalade finish, then a spicy aftertaste. Sublime. Drink 2020-2050" Neal Martin, Vinous.com
