The wines in Majestic's Parcel Series are often worth snapping up. It's a compelling concept – small amounts of wine made by top names that are not included in their final blends and so surplus to requirements, and so sold on to Majestic under the promise of anonymity. Like many other wines in the Parcel Series range, this Sauternes (which was added to the range in April) offers great bang for your buck, generous and fleshy, with creamy and bright citrus fruit opulence. It's a very approachable style, with 110g/L residual sugar. A real treat for the sweet-toothed, perfectly balanced...
