Château Bastor-Lamontagne
Sweet wine | Sauternes AC
An unusual Sauternes… for our greatest pleasure!
Often described as "modern Sauternes", Château Bastor-Lamontagne favors fruit and freshness. This wine expresses itself on ripe citrus fruits, with touches of candied orange and dried apricot. It is a sweet white wine for collection, long-keeping like all Sauternes, but also a modern wine, for consumption, even for thirst, in the most positive sense of the word!

Delicate golden yellow.
Very expressive of citrus (grapefruit, lime).
Beautiful fullness with aromas of candied orange and dried apricot. Long and delicate finish with tangy notes of citron. Beautiful general balance for this wine which is both lively and delicate.
On one of the terraces of the Garonne, 40 km south of Bordeaux, Château Bastor-Lamontagne extends its 56 hectares of vines on a magnificent silico-gravel terroir, entirely devoted to the production of sweet wine.
After a light settling, the musts are separated, some in vats, the other in barrels. Aging for 16 months in stave oak barrels, 20% of which is new wood.
