Grande Maison - Monbazillac Cuvée du Château 2022 (liquoreux)
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A delicious sweet wine, full of freshness and lightness."
Remarkable, the 2021 vintage of this cuvée narrowly missed out on becoming a Favorite. Its successor has achieved this status, as did the 2018 vintage. Made from Sémillon (80%) and Sauvignon, there is no Muscadelle this year, a rare and capricious grape variety. Fermented and aged in new barrels, this deep yellow Monbazillac reveals its aging only through a few hints of vanilla, which sprinkle over a medley of overripe and candied fruits, where lemon and mandarin add a refreshing touch. Round and candied, in unison with the nose, the palate stands out for its richness and concentration, which will allow this sweet wine to age well over the next decade. (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
