The Cadillac AOC is situated at the other side of the Garonne river than the better known (to me at least) AOC Sauternes and AOC Barsac.
Strangely enough there is a link between the car's name and the AOC's name: Antoine de la Mothe, who was born in the village of Cadillac, and went on to found the city of Detroit ...
Anyhow, back to the wine: the wine I drank was not from a famous chateau or anything, but it was already a 1999 vintage which is not too old, but the colour of the wine did show quite some evolution towards light orange already. The smell was quite peculiar and I cannot really name what aromas I did smell, but the taste was definetely different from the aroma.
