Chateau Filhot 2eme Cru Classe Sauternes

Bordeaux

Sauternes

The 2024 Filhot is pale lemon-straw in color. It is a little shy to begin, unfurling to reveal notes of lemon balm, green mangos, and fresh pears with a touch of almonds. The palate is rich and unctuous with just enough freshness and a decadent finish.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Soft pale gold, rich apricot and apple blossom on the nose, apricot puree on the palate, fairly sweet but well matched by acidity and lime zest, a slow uncurling of campfire smoke, very pretty and charming. Owner Counts de Vaucelles. 1/3 new oak.

Inside Bordeaux

A blend of 60% Semillon, 36% Sauvignon Blanc, and 4% Muscadelle, the 2023 Filhot has 120 g/l of residual sugar and it is pale lemon-straw in color. It has lifted notes of lemon marmalade, apple tart, and lime leaves, leading to a core of poached pears and wild fungi. The palate is light on its feet, with appealing poise and a soft-spoken finish.

The 2022 Filhot is composed of 60% Semillon, 36% Sauvignon Blanc, and 4% Muscadelle, with 125 g/L residual sugar. Pale to medium straw in color, it offers up open-knit notes of baked peaches, apple pie, and fragrant earth, leading to hints of allspice and cedar. Full, nicely balanced, and savory, the palate delivers a pleasant chalkiness on the long finish.

The 2020 Filhot has a pale lemon-straw color. It springs from the glass with vivacious notions of baked apples, peach preserves, and lime leaves, with hints of parrafin wax, wild fungi, and powdered ginger. The palate is rich and seductive, with a lively backbone and a nicely balanced, earthy finish.

Touch of grilled smoke on the opening beats adds focus and contrast to the rich pink grapefruit and nectarine fruits.

Lukt av søtlig sitron, pære, tørket ananas, fersk honning og earl grey te. 

På smak er den litt kremet med en rund munnfølelse. Det er tørket aprikos, ananas, krydder og vanilje. Godt integrert syre som matcher sødmen godt. Den er dog litt spinkel og for enkel for høyere poengsum. Ettersmaken sitter en stund. 

Expert

Medium straw-gold in color, the 2012 Filhot sings of lemon marmalade, preserved kumquat, and candied ginger with touches of lime leaves and chalk dust. The palate delivers plenty of sweetness and tension, with lovely purity and a zingy finish.
