Château de Fargues 2009 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)

  • Online Exclusive
95-97 Barrel sample. Ripe and sweet, initially very much a wine on the surface, but then one that offers an impressive density of botrytis, sweet apricots and complex biting honey.  — R.V.  (8/9/2010)

Château de Fargues 2006 White (Sauternes)

A firm, densely structured wine, with the sweetness turned as much into richness. The flavors are of Seville orange zest, the richness coming from honey and almonds, balanced with dry botrytis. An impressive wine that needs time for aging.  — R.V.  (3/1/2009)

Château de Fargues 2011 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)

  • Online Exclusive
92-94. Barrel sample. A smooth and rich wine that also shows depth of flavor. Wrapped in its tight texture are notes of peach and mango, bitter orange and lemon zest. It’s a fine wine that should age for many years.  — R.V.  (5/11/2012)

91—93 Barrel sample. This is crisp, lively and ripe, but also shows some excellent botrytis, honey and quince flavors. There is a hint of lychee in the spiciness.  — R.V.  (12/31/2009)

Château de Fargues 2004 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)

87-89 There is certainly good fruit here, it is quite light, delicate and layered with tannins and acidity. This is a fresh, fruity style, but with all the right characteristics.  — R.V.  (6/1/2005)

Château de Fargues 2005 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)

  • Online Exclusive
87-89 Barrel sample. Almonds, some spice and dryness are the dominant impressions of this wine. It is concentrated, very rich with layers of dense botrytis and flavors of oak and sweet fruit. A success for this lesser-know property.  — R.V.  (6/21/2006)
