WINE DESCRIPTION

Château Raymond-Lafon Sauternes is a highly regarded sweet wine produced in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate is known for its exceptional vineyard features, including a unique microclimate that allows for the development of noble rot, which concentrates the grapes' sugars and flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the botrytized grapes, followed by slow fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex blend of honeyed fruit, floral notes, and a balancing acidity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Château Raymond-Lafon Sauternes is an intensely aromatic and complex sweet wine.On the nose, aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit, honey, and apricot mingle with hints of nutmeg and spice. The palate is intensely concentrated and layered, with flavors of honeyed stone fruits, citrus, and white flowers. The long finish is marked by touches of hazelnut and anise. Perfect for pairing with blue cheese or foie gras, this wine is a luxurious treat.
