The Le 2 de Romer du Hayot is a beautifully judged, modern take on Sauternes - all the luscious charm you’d hope for, but with a lovely sense of freshness and lift. In the glass, ripe apricot, peach compote and candied citrus peel, with a touch of acacia honey and a fresh citrus edge. It's sweet, of course, but beautifully balanced; the acidity keeps it lively and stops it ever feeling heavy. A classic partner to tarte tatin or blue cheese, but the Le 2 is just as good slightly chilled on its own. The vineyards sit on classic clay-limestone and gravel soils, giving both richness and structure. The blend is 90% Sémillon, bringing texture and honeyed depth, with 10% Sauvignon adding a little aromatic zip and brightness.
