Château de Fargues Sauternes 2000

Tawny, burnt orange in colour, and straight from the first moment this has a rich complex nose of woodsmoke, walnut, orange peel, cloves, soft touches of truffle. A vintage that is more about spice, smoke and nuance than fruit, packed with subtle layers. A long drawn out harvvest throughout the month of October where they made just 15 barrels over their 15 hectares, but the result is clear in the glass. François Amirault winemaker.
