Why it's on our shelf

Sauternes is not a category for every shop, but it should be on every serious list. Château Fontaine's plots in Fargues de Langon sit in the same commune as Château Rieussec — the geography alone earns attention. The 2023 is lighter and more elegant than textbook sweet Sauternes: medium sweetness, fine acidity, and all the botrytis character you come to this appellation for. Mango, melon, honeycomb, a provocative whisper of aged cheese. Open it with Roquefort. Thank yourself later.
