About the wine: A late harvest (no botrytis) off-dry wine. Au Capceu is one of the best off-dry French wines out there and we believe Jean Marc Grussaute is truly a magician. This wine easily compares to some of the best Sauternes and other sweet wine produced in the world. Au Capceu means “the top of the hill”, and refers to a single vineyard the grown in. After pressing, the wine spends three days on skins, before being aged for eight months on lees in barrel and foudre (5% new oak). 
 
When to drink: Drink now or in the next 50 years.
 
Service: 10 degrees C. Decant if you can.
 
Food match: Foie gras with figs, spicy food, Roquefort cheese, pavlova, lemon tart.
