Majestic Wine

Vergelegen The White 2009

The White is Vergelegen's take on top white Graves. With a powerful and complex nose of greengage, fresh herbs, lime and hot buttered toast the palate is rich and layered with real polish and terrific balance.

Château Rieussec 2006 Sauternes, 1er Cru

There's lots going on here with plenty of sweetness, and the property's track record certainly suggests this will be a hit in the long term.

Château Rieussec 2003 Sauternes, 1er Cru Classé

Now bottled they are gorgeous, rich wines and will drink well early. Generally just behind Yquem in quality Rieussec is a very fine wine indeed.

Château d'Arche 2001 Sauternes

Made in a big, up-front, forward style, with loads of glycerin and fat, the 2001 d’Arche reveals elegant aromas of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, honeyed lemon, and a hint of coconut as well as good acidity, medium to full body and obvious botrytis. 90 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate (2004).

Château de Fargues 2005 Sauternes

A really good Sauternes with a rich and intriguing nose of grapefruit, thyme and honey. The finish is lovely - very long, like orange blossom honey.

Château Climens 1983 1er Cru Classé, Barsac

The 1983 has consistently improved since bottling and is a far greater wine than I ever imagined after tasting it from cask. It exhibits the classic honeyed pineapple and spicy oakiness that makes Climens so profound. In the mouth, this wine is opulent, extremely rich, with gobs of glycerin, yet enough acidity to give it plenty of definition and crispness. 92 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
