Sweet Dessert wine
Ch. du Haut-Mayne Sainte-Croix-du-Mont
Unlike some sweet wines, this is a fresh, well balanced expression of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. On the nose, expect notes of candied orange and apricot. On the palate, flavours of ripe pear and marzipan followed by a long and intense finish. Great value for money and perfect to round off a meal.

Chateau du Haut-Mayne
This is a sweet story – just across the river Garonne from Sauternes but at a fraction of the price. The Chateau, now owned by the more illustrious Chateau de Mailles, is located in Preignac, and was previously owned by the Roumazeilles family. This is prime dessert wine country, the climate and topography creating optimum conditions for the production of noble rot sweet wine.
