"Made in a light, fruity style emphasizing finesse and elegance, the 2001 Filhot exhibits abundant amounts of sweet pineapple and sealing wax-like characteristics, along with pure, clean flavors. Slightly sweet, it does not possess the body or power of the vintage's bigger examples, but it is a refreshing, vibrant Sauternes to enjoy over the next 12-15 years."

Rating for France-Bordeaux-Sauternes: 98 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
