Château Bastor Lamontagne 2018
Appellation: Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Grape varieties: Sémillon majority, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle
Vintage: 2018
Origin and background
The 2018 vintage, characterised by alternating humidity and heat, encouraged the development of botrytis cinerea (noble rot), which is necessary for the production of great Sauternes wines. Château Bastor Lamontagne's gravelly, sandy soils produce a sweet wine renowned for its finesse, aromatic purity and freshness.
Tasting
Colour: Bright golden yellow.
Nose: Expressive and elegant, with aromas of candied apricot, yellow peach, honey, white flowers and hints of candied citrus fruit.
Palate: Unctuous attack, generous body balanced by lively acidity. Rich, silky mid-palate, marked by candied fruit and honey. Long, fresh finish, with hints of spice and zest.
Scores :
- Wine Advocate: 90/100

- Decanter: 91/100
Suggested pairings
Ideal as an aperitif or with foie gras (semi-cooked or pan-fried), poultry in cream sauce or slightly sweet and sour, blue-veined cheeses (Roquefort, Bleu d'Auvergne), as well as fruity desserts (apricot tart, caramelised pears) or almond-based desserts.
