Chateau de Fargues, a historic estate in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, is renowned for its exquisite sweet wines. The growing season is a testament to the estate's dedication to quality and tradition. This wine is primarily composed of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are carefully harvested and subjected to noble rot, a process that concentrates the sugars and flavors. The wine is aged in oak barrels, imparting a rich complexity to its profile. Expect luscious notes of apricot, honey, and citrus, balanced by a vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish. This Sauternes pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.

The 2015 Chateau de Fargues delivers 153 grams per liter of residual sugar at 13.8% alcohol. It has a complex bouquet with honey, marmalade and quince aromas that are beautifully defined, but will clearly take a few years to reach their full potential. The palate is very sensual on the entry, honeyed and lavish at the beginning, but retaining wonderful precision and persistence on the lightly spiced finish. This is a seriously good de Fargues that should age effortlessly over the next 30-40 years. As usual, this is one for the serious Sauternes-lovers who know that good things come to those that wait.
