First Growth. Premier Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: (2009 vintage) "Medium gold to straw color. Rich, ripe fruit on the nose with honeyed aromas. The palate has good sweetness & honey, vanilla and delicate cedar flavors. Medium-bodied with good fruit concentration & soft acidity. Alcohol is balanced and the finish has good length." - 11/13 DCAMW

The start of the growing season was difficult to manage. Our technical team had to show great vigilance in order to protect the vines. Good weather finally arrived in June, followed by a drought interspersed with some light rainy spells in July, August and September. Relatively high daytime temperatures and cool nights allowed a long, slow ripening.

A long period of ageing in oak barrels was needed to round off this very powerful wine. Citrus and fresh fruit aromas combine with candied apricot and green almonds on the nose. Great length on the palate matched with lively, fresh fruit, and a strong impression of honey and acacia blossom.

Vintage quality: Legendary
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
For Sauternes and Barsac, the 2009 vintage was extraordinarily good.
Although the summer was exceptionally hot and dry, cool nights prevailed which helped retain the acidity essential to excellent Sauternes. The strong diurnal difference and life-giving r...
