Tasting notes
Château Dauphiné Rondillon's 1989 vintage is a noble rot wine from Bordeaux, France. Made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this wine has taken on a new level of elegance with its aging.
This wine appeared in volume 24 of 'Drops of God'. It was served at a state dinner at the Élysée Palace, where it shared the wine list with the famous Château d'Yquem. Its aroma of ripe peaches evokes the spirit of the Hinamatsuri festival.
In the glass, it shimmers with a deep golden hue, and its viscosity is apparent when you swirl it. The aroma is open and offers a rich bouquet of ripe apricots and honey. On the palate, a robust sweetness unfolds, followed by a powerful acidity that balances the wine beautifully. The interplay of lightness and richness is exquisite, and the finish is long, revealing complex layers as time goes on.
Overall, this noble rot wine is one to savor slowly. It's perfect when chilled as a dessert wine or as a luxurious companion for a special moment.
