Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The Château de Fargues 2014 has an opulent, rounded and powerful bouquet that delivers a payload of botrytized fruit that is precise, upholding the de Fargues style, hints of mandarin and Clementine developing in the glass. The palate has a huge weight in the mouth: a fine line of acidity with layers of clear honey, marmalade and a dash of ginger on the finish. This represents an immensely pure Château de Fargues with enormous length and intensity. Superb.

The 2014 Château de Fargues has a very pure nose with wild honey, vanilla pod, crème brûlée and a touch of rose water. The palate is well-balanced. A keen thread of acidity matches its impressive purity. Strict and focused, the finish has a lovely tang of marmalade. This is a beautiful Sauternes in the making. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
