Description
De Fargues 2001 exhibits a rich golden hue, indicative of its late-harvest Sémillon grapes, which reflect the botrytis cinerea influence. The nose reveals complex layers of mango, apricot, and a hint of honey, underscored by notes of citrus zest and a waft of oak. On the palate, it offers a luscious texture, balancing the sweetness with a vibrant acidity that carries flavors of dried fruits and toffee.
This Sauternes, originating from the renowned Château de Fargues, is known for its storied history and exceptional terroir. The 2001 vintage is characterised by ideal weather conditions that allowed for a long harvest, resulting in grapes that reached optimal ripeness. Often regarded as one of the legends of dessert wines, it reflects the meticulous vineyard practices and traditional winemaking methods employed at the estate.
