This Château de Fargues Sauternes (Lur Saluces) is a stunningly sweet and complex dessert wine.On the nose, aromas of apricot, honey, and citrus blossom waft out of the glass. The palate is rich and luscious, with flavors of candied citrus, orange marmalade, and a hint of almond. The finish is long, balanced, and refreshing, with a lingering essence of honey and spice.
