First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: "Powered by intense botrytis, this wine is opulent and ripe, with spice, yellow fruit and honey flavors. It has just the right balance of acidity to maintain its shape and proportions. It's likely to age well over many years. Drink from 2024. Roger Voss" - 97/100, Wine Enthusiast

Each precious batch goes through the press, a decisive step for extraction, and is then barrelled for the next step: fermentation. The barrels are laid down the length of the barrel hall, then comes the long period during which the wine matures. When the time comes for blending, old cellar-masters return to the estate, sharing and passing on their memories of taste, time and place to the current team.

The 2014 vintage for Sauternes was superb overall.
The winter and spring weather had been mostly mild but a cold, wet April disrupted flowering significantly reducing yields. A lukewarm summer with little sunshine resulted in highly acidic grapes with a v...
