Sweet. High acidity (318 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 2/24/2024 & rated 93 points: Pronounced nose intensity with notes of honey, honeysuckle, apricot, melon, pineapple. Sweet. High acidity. (417 views) | | | Tasted by erltho on 11/27/2023 & rated 93 points: This wine was a bit timid to start with, then it just grows and grows. In other words, a strong finished. It is well balanced. It will be a pleasant memory (571 views) | | | Tasted by Dithiolium on 7/4/2020 & rated 94 points: Bright gold colour. Luscious sweet tropical fruit nose. Vibrant Mango, apricot, honey, pineapple, fresh flowers. Intense yet well balanced elements makes this an outstanding wine. Long finish. (2454 views) | | | Tasted by rossi.wine on 6/16/2018 & rated 93 points: Tasted after 2015 Clos Haut-Peyraguey this shows more finesse. Great concentration and richness, but more lifted, floral, vibrant. Well balanced on the palate with an elegant bitterness towards the long finish. 92-93+ (3424 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 3/12/2018 & rated 95 points: It is the combination of honeyed citrus and tropical fruits that gives this wine its character. Add in all that honey, flowers and vanilla, and you get the picture. Sweet, ripe, fresh and balanced, this tastes almost as good as the stunning, Lalique bottle looks on your table. This certainly makes a statement. (3962 views) | | | Tasted by Philippe_C on 2/14/2018 & rated 89 points: Huge nose of apricot jam, highly refreshing acidity… Taste of mainly sugar, good freshness, lacking a bit of fruit… Nose is good but not great taste (3319 views) | | | Tasted by FransS on 2/6/2018 & rated 94 points: UGC Tasting Amsterdam 2/5/2018: A refined bouquet with elegant botrytis, bitters combined with sweetness; the balance is obvious. This will become very delicate. (3136 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 1/25/2018: Some Quick Takes from the 2015 UGC Bordeaux Tasting (Metreon, San Francisco): Nice honeyed high tones. Much better acidity and grapefruit lift than Guiraud. (1759 views) | | | Tasted by aagrawal on 1/25/2018 & rated 88 points: UGC Bordeaux Tasting 2015 Vintage (City View, Metreon, San Francisco): A bit overoaked, good fruit; medium palate loses a bit of fruit and shows its alcohol; medium finish. A bit lacking at this stage. 88 (1617 views) | | | Tasted by bestdamncab on 1/25/2018 & rated 93 points: Union Des Grand Crus de Bordeaux Tasting of the 2015 Vintage, nose of honey, beeswax, honeysuckle floral notes, same on the palate, medium body, lovely, honey character on the mid palate, very tasty, needs 3 years to improve, I still enjoy the 1986, 1988, and 1989 in the cellar today, long finish with lots of honey. (1741 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 5/3/2016 & rated 95 points: From 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc, the wine smells great with its nutty, pineapple, vanilla and lemon custard aromatic profile. Fresh and zippy, the wine is rich, fat, sweet, and dense with the right amount of acidity to keep all that sweetness in check. 94 - 96 Pts (3590 views) | | | Tasted by PanosKakaviatos on 4/2/2016: First look at Sauternes 2015 from barrel (Camping du Lac Bordeaux): Another fine success from Sauternes, here we have quite a bit of nuance and elegance, as compared to the Guiraud, tasted just before.

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanSauternes Le Grand Crus Classés de Sauternes et Barsac 1855 (Crus Classés de Sauternes et Barsac) - Read more about Sauternes, Barsac and its wines
– Read more about the 1855 Sauternes Barsac Classification
Forty kilometres south of Bordeaux, Sauternes is an AOC that includes together 5 communes, including Barsac. For centuries, humans have been patiently learning to master this region's climate, soils and grape varieties. But Mother Nature did a good job laying the foundation. The Sauternes terroir is distinguished by a geological predisposition to gravel and pebbles that cover limestone streaked with veins of clay. In the communes of Fargues and Sauternes, a layer of hardpan (iron-oxide cemented sand) in which vines flourish can be found. The vineyards at the highest elevations and farthest from the river have the best terroirs and produce the majority of the Crus Classés, including the monumental Château Yquem.Sauternes wines are made from Sémillon (80% of vines planted) and Sauvignon (15%) grapes. A bit of Muscadelle occasionally is used to give the wines an untamed touch. Sauternes have an "aged gold" colour that is denser and darker than other dessert wines. When they age, they develop a stunning amber colour. The nose has aromas of flowers and fruit that melt together to create a bouquet of remarkable complexity and balance. The primary aromas include almond, quince, mango, pineapple, stewed peach, dried apricot and passion fruit. There are also floral notes, with touches of linden, acacia, mimosa and honeysuckle. And as is typical with Sémillon, there are also notes of beeswax, almond and hazelnut. In the mouth, Sauternes wines have a powerful style that is viscous but extremely elegant. Its strong sweetness is captivating. Finally, its aromatic finish is something that simply must be experienced.
2013 Vintage Notes:
"the extractive ratios in th[is] year are in the phenomenal range and there's ripeness/botrytis to cover two treks around the globe [...] so appealing is the immediacy of the wines. Many can be enjoyed now for their sheer joy and delicious nature. [Some] should also age" - Jon Rimmerman
2014 Vintage Notes:
"a golden vintage for Sauternes. It may not have the depth or weight of 2010, but it has some of the richness. What has set 2014 apart is the intense lime and lemon flavors that cut into any overblown cloying character and allow both the fruit and the honeyed noble rot to sing." - Wine Enthusiast |
