Some tropical aromas on the nose. You can really feel the weight and depth on the palate, the extra sugar gives a round lusciousness that sometimes you don’t get here and I love it. Orange, grapefruit, mango – succulent, sweet and still with a lift on the finish. A pure dessert wine. 13.5%. 3.8pH. 160g/l residual sugar. A yield of 18hl/ha. Tasted four times.

Pale golden yellow, silver reflections. Fine sweet peach fruit, a hint of baby pineapple, fresh apricot, delicate boytrtis spice. Juicy, distinct sweetness, ripe peach, honey on the finish, creamy style, good ageing potential.

Aromas of dust, mushrooms and dried apricots. Full-bodied, sweet and lush, with notable concentration and length, lifted by a touch of salinity and an attractive texture. Long, persistent and dense. 83% semillon and 17% sauvignon, with 160 g/L residual sugar. An intense wine.

The 2025 Bastor-Lamontagne is a very pretty, understated Sauternes. Orange confit, cinnamon, butter, baked apple tart and chamomile are some of the many notes that take shape. The 2025 is soft and creamy, deftly balancing textural presence with freshness. Pretty floral notes reappear to extend the close.
