Tokaj is a very exciting playing field indeed, with grapes offering different stages of maturity. Samuel Tinon’s aim is to express the best of those grapes. When he arrived in the region, at the age of 22, he discovered the aszú berries and their incredible power. Sweet wines were no mystery for him: he was born in Bordeaux, France, and grew up in the family wine estate in Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, a sweet wine appellation facing Sauternes. 2000, a fantastic vintage, was his very first harvest as a family business, and 2005 the first wine ever released in a Parisian 3 star hotel. Taking part with three wines in the first Tokaj Wine Auction – the only producer presenting so many lots -, this year he launches a Dry Furmint Szent Tamás for the second time. Devoted to Tokaji Aszú, Sweet and Dry Szamorodni and Aszú Eszencia – the specialities of Tokaj that need long and patient aging -, he continues his way making dry wines without aging. The young, fresh and very drinkable Szent Tamás Dry Furmint shows another specificity of this amazing volcanic region. Samuel Tinon Tokaj Grand Liquoreux now offers the complete range of Tokaj in several languages.
