The Château de Fargues Lur Saluces 2005, presented in a 0.375L bottle, is an exquisite sweet white wine from France’s Sauternes region, crafted by the Lur Saluces family, former owners of Château d’Yquem. This 2005 vintage displays a deep amber hue and an opulent nose of dried apricot, honey, candied pineapple, and saffron, with hints of toffee, spice, and subtle minerality. The palate is rich and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering a long, decadent finish with notes of caramel and dried fruit. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the clay and gravel-rich terroir of Sauternes, benefiting from noble rot. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit-based desserts, it offers a luxurious dining experience. At two decades old, it is at its peak, showcasing mature, honeyed complexity, and is best enjoyed now. This wine is a collector’s treasure, embodying the Lur Saluces legacy of crafting exceptional Sauternes with depth and elegance, rivaling the finest in the region.
