Château Lamothe Guignard 2019 – Sauternes, 2èmeGrand Cru Classé

The nose is fruity, slightly tight and offers a fine concentration as well as a small aerial side in the approach. It reveals notes of candied peach, crushed nectarine and small notes of pineapple in syrup associated with touches of lemon, discreet hints of fresh mango and a subtle hint of saffron. The palate is fruity and offers a good freshness, fat, minerality, energy, liveliness as well as a very beautiful acidulous frame. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of candied / dried apricot, candied lemon and small notes of stewed nectarine associated with touches of lychee in syrup, pineapple in syrup as well as fine hints of acacia flowers, racy minerality, a subtle hint of saffron and spices. Presence of a fine toasted hint on the finish / persistence. Good work on the bitterness, especially on the finish.
