There's a touch of the tropical about this: aromas of mangoes and sweet spices. Chateau Roustit, near the convergence of icy River Ciron (rising from deep springs in Landes) and warmer Garonne benefits from autumn mists. These generate the 'noble rot' that shrivels grapes to syrupy succulence. M. Dubourg oversees successive 'sweeps' through his vines, picking optimally wrinkly grapes. His Sémillon-Sauvignon-Muscadelle makes a fine dessert wine that's also good with grilled fish.
