Château la Rayre Bordeaux-style White Blend -2005 (WE-123222)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From a great dessert wine year, this is packed with botrytis, unctuous in texture, rich and liquor-like. It is not for aging, but is delicious now. 1 Note

Clarendelle Bordeaux-style White Blend -2003 (WE-71786)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From the sweet white appellation of the Bergerac region, this is a full, botrytis-dominated wine, opulent, layered with dryness to balance the citrus and honey flavors. Maybe without complexity, but certainly with all the right botrytis wine characters. 1 Note

Most Recent Tasting Note:

A lightly botrytised wine, with sweet raisins and orange zest. The wine is soft, missing acidity, but the freshness is just right. 1 Note

As in nearby Sauternes, 2005 produced some exceptionally rich botrytised wine in Monbazillac. This example from one of the leading Bergerac producers certainly shows plenty of richness, but it seems rather too sugary, showing toffee flavors and fatness. The acidity is missing. 1 Note

A beautifully balanced Monbazillac, giving attention to orange marmalade flavors, while resting securely on botrytis. The wine is generous but firm, with final acidity. A wine for aging. 1 Note

Yvon Mau Bordeaux-style White Blend -2006 (WE-109699)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

With three years’ age, this is developing into an attractive lemon and honey style of wine, with a core of dry botrytis. It could age another two years. 1 Note

This is the lighter of two sweet wines from Ancienne Cure, but this is still pretty intense. It has great sweet marmalade and orange zest flavors, as much sweet as botrytized. Soft, round and opulent. 1 Note

Profile Image

This is a gorgeous wine, the ripe fruit of the year giving weight, the dry botrytis giving intensity. Ginger, sweet orange and a big burst of citrus all balance so well. 1 Note
