Cellar Tracker June - 2014
Cellar Tracker
The wine was amber in color with just the tiniest hint of orange or brown (very slight). The bouquet was a beautiful caramel and yellow pit fruit. On the palate, the wine was sweet enough to be a full forced dessert wine but well balanced by a strong level of acidity. The wine tasted complex with peach and quince. There was just a hint of fusel oil and the botrytis notes were very full-blown. The wine displayed no oxidation whatsoever. It was in very good shape. Although fully mature, the wine was in top form and should hold well for another half a dozen years or more. It was a top performer by any high end Sauternes standard. Excellent mature Sauternes and out-performed the several Bastor-Lamontagne I have had.

Château Bastor Lamontagne
Until 1710, the Bastor-Lamontagne estate was the property of the King of France, successor in Guyenne to the King of England, whose assets fell into the hands of the King of France. In 1711, the château was bought by Vincent de la Montaigne, Counselor to the Parliament of Bordeaux. However, it was the Larrieu family who dedicated Bastor-La Montagne to its winemaking career. In 1936, it was sold to the Crédit Foncier de France. Only the wines from the best vintages, produced from the finest terroirs and the richest selections, are bottled. Bastor-Lamontagne wines exhibit all the harmony of great Sauternes: lively, they often possess a floral bouquet where honey and acacia flavors mingle. Thanks to their power and complexity, they make ideal wines for aging. On the palate, their balance is remarkable and the concentration is well supported by great aromatic freshness.
