2025 Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Bastor-Lamontagne has an attractive nose with wild honey, almond and light vanillary scents, well defined and focused. The palate offers ample botrytised fruit, a fine bead of acidity, quite linear for a Sauternes, with commendable tension on the weighty and quite irresistible (already!) finish. This should constitute one of the more approachable Sauternes wines, but the class is already evident. Drink 2031-2050.

The 2025 Bastor-Lamontagne is a very pretty, understated Sauternes. Orange confit, cinnamon, butter, baked apple tart and chamomile are some of the many notes that take shape. The 2025 is soft and creamy, deftly balancing textural presence with freshness. Pretty floral notes reappear to extend the close. Drink 2028-2040.

Aromas of dust, mushrooms and dried apricots. Full-bodied, sweet and lush, with notable concentration and length, lifted by a touch of salinity and an attractive texture. Long, persistent and dense. 83% semillon and 17% sauvignon, with 160 g/L residual sugar. An intense wine.

A serious, powerful Sauternes, the 2025 Château Bastor-Lamontagne checks in as 83% Sémillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc that will spend 16 months in barrels, 30% of which are new. Its medium gold hue is followed by a rich, powerful nose of honeyed apricot, grilled peach, mint, and spice. On the palate, it's rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, with an unctuous mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. Hitting 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.8, it's a seriously impressive barrel sample.

Some tropical aromas on the nose. You can really feel the weight and depth on the palate, the extra sugar gives a round lusciousness that sometimes you don’t get here and I love it. Orange, grapefruit, mango – succulent, sweet and still with a lift on the finish. A pure dessert wine. 13.5%. 3.8pH. 160g/l residual sugar. A yield of 18hl/ha. Tasted four times. Drink 2027-2046.
