Tasted blind. Odd nose and a lack of fruit on the mid palate. (JR)

Pale lemon in color, the 2016 Bastor-Lamontagne leaps from the glass with candied lemon peel, apple tart, nutmeg and honeycomb scents plus a waft of fresh hay. The palate reveals impressive depth with loads of honey-nut and earthy accents with the citrus and apple layers, finishing perfumed.

An outstanding Sauternes, the 2016 Château Bastor-Lamontagne has a more elegant, medium-bodied style as well as plenty of tropical notes in its bouquet of white flowers, honeyed tangerine, and orange peel. Fresh, nicely balanced, with good acidity yet ample upfront charm, drink it over the coming decade or more.
