Sauternes
Sweet White Wine

The 1979 Château La Tour Blanche Sauternes, a Premier Cru Classé from the Sauternes appellation, exemplifies the estate's commitment to producing refined and age-worthy sweet wines. Crafted predominantly from Sémillon, with smaller proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, this vintage reflects the favorable conditions of the 1979 harvest, which allowed for the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), essential for the concentration and complexity characteristic of Sauternes wines.

In the glass, the 1979 La Tour Blanche displays a golden yellow hue, indicative of its maturity. The nose reveals an intense exotic expression with notes of pineapple, …

Sauternes

The 1978 Château Raymond-Lafon is a lesser-known gem from Sauternes, offering a unique profile compared to other vintages from this sweet wine-producing region.

The wine displays golden hues with aromas of honey, dried apricots, marmalade, and a touch of almond. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with flavors of candied citrus, honeyed fruit, and hints of vanilla and spice, showcasing good acidity that keeps it balanced and refreshing.

While it may lack the opulence of standout Sauternes vintages, …

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe
Sweet White Wine

Beautiful copper in colour with bouquet that can fill a room with apricots and gardenia with a hint of ocean breeze. In the mouth it is wonderfully delicious as most desert wines are but what set this apart is it's not so sweet with good firm tannin structure and a bit of honeydew and cinnamon on the back end. Also as with most desert wines the finish lingers for (seemingly) hours and butter, honey, and citrus coating your throat. This wine is absolutely wonderful.

Sauternes, Sweet White Wine

The 1971 Château Broustet, a Deuxième Cru Classé from the Barsac appellation, represents a mature expression of Sauternes from a vintage noted for its elegance and freshness.

"There is always a high level of star gazing when a bottle of old Yquem shows up. Even an ok bottle like this makes you feel a million bucks. Dark caramel in colour. Apricots on the nose, sweet glycerin. On the palate it is well evolved full of ripe fruit, botrytis and although it is low in vitality it still makes for a superb experience. We can not be unbiased to the star gazing here but this is a good 94" CellarTracker.com

Tasting Notes from Cellar Tracker (2017) Good fill level, not decanted. Clear, salmon-amber color. Needs lots of air to open up and offers the wonderful perfume that only a truly great Sauternes can produce: Notes of honey, herbs, spices, all woven into one complex blend. The sweetness has perfectly blended in over the last half century and is balanced perfectly by the high acidity. Very mulit-layered and extremely complex. Toffee, coffee, honey, spices, figs and much more. Astonishingly everything is at its right place, all components of acidity, flavors and alcohol are perfectly integrated. …
