The 2024 Château Lapinesse Sauternes (375ml) is a highly aromatic and impeccably balanced French dessert wine. Crafted by Vignobles Siozard from noble-rot affected Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this vintage provides classic Sauternes rich sweetness checked by a vibrant, linear acidity. The half-bottle (375ml) format is ideal for portioning this dense, coating dessert wine without over-pouring.
Tasting Profile
The Nose: Intense, perfumed bouquet characterized by bright yuzu zest, lemon peel, quince, crushed pear, and a subtle herbal hint of verbena.
The Palate: A lush, suave mouthfeel showcasing concentrated flavors of flat peach, dried apricot, and warm honeycomb.
The Finish: Long and straight with a mineral, juicy frame that leaves a refreshing citrus-tinged energy, preventing the high residual sugar from feeling cloying.
Serving and Pairing
Ideal Pairings: Strikingly complements intense blue cheeses, artisanal foie gras, classic plain sponge cakes, or rich fruit tarts.
Storage: Thanks to its high sugar profile, an opened 375ml bottle can comfortably keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 weeks.
