Château Filhot 2003 – 2nd Grand Cru Classé de Sauternes

The nose is complex and fruity. It reveals notes of exotic fruits (mango, passion fruit, quénette and a touch of papaya) associated with a hint of nutmeg. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, quite rich/opulent but still with a well-balance / tension (Château Filhot style). In the mouth it expresses notes of exotic fruits (pineapple, quénette, mango, passion fruit) associated with hints of orange marmalade and slight notes of dried fruit with a touch of walnuts on the finish. Good length. Good concentration/richness in this vintage but always with a beautiful freshness.
