2024, Château Sigalas Rabaud, SAUTERNES, Demi 375mlBordeaux Blend: Smillon, Sauvignon Blanc. An elegant and aerial expression of Sauternes, the 2024 Sigalas Rabaud offers lifted aromas of pineapple, quince, orange peel, and yellow peach. The palate is silky and fresh, less concentrated but beautifully poised, with vibrant acidity and a touch of bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. Pure, refined, and impressively long, showcasing the estates hallmark finesse. 130g l residual sugar. 91, Valeria

Leroux's Bâtard is the top white in his cellar once again

What a gorgeous wine it is

So long and refined with great clarity

A great aperitif and very well priced

a late malolactic probably influencing this

this has structure and gentle tannins

so much juice and Pomerol appeal

and exotic spice nuances intertwined with concentrated black fruits

Harvested in the month of August

bursting with aromas of violets and rose petals mingled with notions of sweet dark berries and baking chocolate

It is aging in French oak barriques

which contains 50% whole bunch
