2011 Chateau Filhot 2nd Grand Cru Classe 375ml

Other Reviews….

Neal Martin Wine Advocate Issue #200 Apr 2012 (88-90) Drink 2014 - 2020.
Although recent vintages of Filhot have been disappointing, I am more optimistic about the 2011. There is an attractive nutty note on the bouquet that is crisp and defined. The palate is nicely balanced with fresh, honeyed fruit while the viscous finish lacquers the mouth with the chutzpah that has been absent of late. I hope that this Sauternes remains on course throughout its barrel maturation because Filhot needs to be up there with the greats.

This is really intense with dried apricot and lots of botrytis spices from nutmeg to white pepper. Full body, very sweet and a rich finish. Best Filhot in years.
