Château d'Armajan des Ormes is a storied estate located in Preignac within the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France, owned and operated by the Perromat family. This late harvest dessert wine is crafted from a blend of 65% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle, with grapes harvested through five successive passes through the vineyard to select only the finest botrytis-affected bunches. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 24 months, adding complexity and depth to this elegant half bottle.

Pouring a deep golden hue, this Sauternes opens with a pronounced nose of mango, dried apricot, and honeyed yuzu layered with subtle vanilla and candied ginger. The palate is luscious and generously sweet, lifted by tangy, citrus-driven acidity that keeps the wine bright and balanced. Tasting notes frequently include honey, stone fruit (apricot, peach, pear), orange marmalade, caramel, and tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. The wine earned 90 points from Gismondi On Wine and holds a 4.2 average rating on Vivino from more than 1,400 reviews across multiple celebrated vintages, including the highly acclaimed 2009 and 2011. The wine contains sulfites and has an alcohol content of 14%.

It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, cheesecake with fruit sauce, and apple or berry pies.
