The Sauternes Lur Saluces A.O.C. 2016, produced by the prestigious Chateau de Fargues, is a sweet white wine of unparalleled elegance and complexity, cherished by collectors and wine lovers around the world. This wine represents one of the most refined expressions of the Sauternes region, famous for its dessert wines.

The 2016 harvest experienced favorable weather conditions that allowed for the production of exceptional quality Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The grapes were carefully selected and handpicked, following the tradition of multiple passes through the vineyards, to ensure that only grapes with the right concentration of natural sugars and the typical noble rot, Botrytis cinerea, were harvested.

The fermentation and aging of this Sauternes partially occur in French oak barrels, adding subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spices that intertwine beautifully with the richness of the fruit. The result is a wine with great structure and longevity, characterized by a splendid aromatic range that spans from acacia honey, dried apricot, to complex notes of caramel and candied citrus.

The Sauternes Lur Saluces 2016 seduces the palate with its perfect balance between sweetness and freshness, offering a long, lingering finish that recreates the various layers of aromas and flavors. This wine is ideal for meditation or paired with dishes such as foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit-based desserts.

Tasting this Sauternes is a unique experience that reveals the mastery and passion of Chateau de Fargues for creating extraordinary sweet wines.
