Stephen Tanzer's IWC, August 2008

Medium yellow. Exotic, high-toned apricot, spices and flowers on the nose, complemented by coconutty, toasty oak. Very sweet and unctuous, with exotic, nobly rotten flavors of pineapple, apricot and coconut and an impression of elevated alcohol. Not quite as racy, fruity or structured as the 2007; conveys an impression of softer acidity, and yet this maintains a light touch. Finishes with suggestions of vanilla and marzipan.

Wine Spectator, January 2012

This is so creamy, almost milky in feel, with toasted coconut and cashew notes giving way to sweet peach, apricot and glazed pear flavors that glide along, while ginger, green tea, lychee and kumquat flavors extend through the finish. Shows terrific range and definition. Feels like it's just starting to open, and is in no rush. Drink now through 2035. -JM

About Winery

An atypical estate as well as an atypical wine, Chateau de Fargues-- a Lur Saluces property--bears majestic witness to the past.  This historical perspective enables the chateau to cultivate a fine reputation among a small but devoted circle of connoisseurs, and rise above the turmoil of the present or the influence of short-lived trends. Chateau de Fargues has the necessary grandeur to focus on its quest for perfection and intimacy.

The constant desire to maintain a balance between expertise passed down from generation to generation and carefully tested modern techniques make this golden wines a "blue note" among the great Sauternes estates.
