When Domaine de l'Alliance 2009 Sauternes released En Primeur it got a fantastic response.
Maybe customers were reacting to our own enthusiasm, or maybe they could spot that Domaine de l'Alliance is the kind of deal that does not come along very often.
We only got to know about this Sauternes ourselves about a year ago and what a great story it is.
Daniel Allibrand was a Commercial Fisherman who sold out 5 years ago and came to look after his wife's property in Fargues.
Daniel knew nothing about botrytis, wine tending, vine tending, or wine making, yet he has made a resounding success out of it.
His Sauternes is made with no compromise on quality. Yields are tiny and he only picks the finest of the botrytis grapes. He works it like a top 1st growth Sauternes and has because of this has created a wine that is equivalent in quality to a 1st growth.
This kind of thing doesn't come along very often and anybody who bought the Domaine de l'Alliance 2009 got a tremedous deal.
If you'd like some of this 2009 Sauternes, beware, because this might be the last time we see this vintage around. I'd recommend you move fast while there is still a little stock around.
