The Château de Fargues Lur Saluces 2005 is a magnificent Sauternes crafted by the Lur Saluces family, known for their historic ties to Château d’Yquem. Made from botrytized Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this 2005 vintage displays a deep amber hue and an opulent nose of honey, dried apricot, candied orange, and exotic spices, with hints of caramel and minerality. On the palate, it is rich and viscous, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of mango, pineapple, and botrytis-driven complexity. The finish is long and harmonious, with a refined mineral streak. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, foie gras, or blue cheeses, it offers a decadent experience. With two decades of aging, it is at its peak but can evolve further over the next 15-20 years, making it a collector’s treasure.
