The 2012 Myrat has an attractive, waxy bouquet that appears to show a better level of botrytis than its peers. The palate is well-balanced with a quince and marmalade inspired entry, then it builds to a fresh lime and quince finish, which fans out nicely across the palate. This is a very commendable effort from Myrat.

The 2011 de Myrat offers a lightly honeyed but very pure bouquet with subtle tropical notes and satisfactory levels of botrytized fruit. It is actually reminiscent of a top Doisy-Vedrines. The palate has a ripe, sorbet-like sweetness on the entry with notes of blood orange and apricot, while the finish is composed, with crisp acidity imparting tension and precision, and a residual tang of Clementine lingering in the mouth. Xavier Pontac has overseen a very fine de Myrat that will be worth seeking out after bottling. Drink: 2014-2025.
