Tasting Notes
| Michael Broadbent 5 * | |
| One of the best vintages of this consistently good Chateau. Creamy and superbly balanced. | |
| David Peppercorn | |
| One of the two great wines of Barsac, this is always among the finest wines of Sauternes, and one of the few that can rival Yquem for the perfection of its flavour and breed, if not for its power..It is interesting to not that almost the entire vineyard is planted with Semillon, which is said to suit the chalky soil..These are very long lived wine, combining freshness, elegance and breed without the weight of the very best Sauternes, as distinct from Barsac, but with a lusciousness which slowly opens up with age. The balance, which is one of the greatest charms of the wines, means that it keeps its colour and hardly ever goes dark, so maderization is a stranger here. |
