Chateau Lamourette Sauternes 2018 (Half Bottle) 375ml
Product Details
A sweet, delicate wine which retains its freshness. Works well with a simple roast chicken but also spiced dishes (ginger and curry) and blue cheese. Fermentation in small stainless steel vats, according to the age of the vines, terroir and ripeness of the grapes. Ageing takes place partly in stainless steel vats to retain fruitiness and partly in oak barrels. If strict criteria are not met (if for example, the weather one year is not good enough to produce a high enough quality) then no wine will be made that year.
During its 160-year existence (the estate was founded in 1860 although its first bottling was 1919) it has been the women of the Leglise family who have done the bulk of the winemaking at Lamourettes, as since WWI the head winemaking hat has been passed from mother to daughter to granddaughter.
A tiny artisanal estate of just 10ha situated less than a kilometre (i.e. just a five-minute stroll) from its rather flasher neighbour Château d'Yquem. The vines are on average 40 years old so the wine could be classed Vielles Vignes if they so wanted.
