The 2022 Château Closiot Barsac Les Dames de Bonneau is a beautifully vibrant and delicately styled sweet wine from one of Barsac’s most exciting emerging estates. Produced from carefully selected Sémillon affected by noble rot on the limestone and clay soils of Barsac, the wine captures the freshness and finesse that distinguish the appellation while retaining impressive texture and aromatic complexity. The nose reveals ripe apricot, mandarin and white peach layered alongside acacia honey, orange blossom and subtle saffron notes, giving the wine lift and precision rather than overt richness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky texture, bright natural acidity and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of stone fruit, citrus marmalade and gentle botrytis complexity are balanced by saline freshness and elegant tension, finishing long, pure and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and drinkability. The 2022 vintage brings generous fruit concentration while preserving freshness and clarity throughout.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2022 Château Closiot Barsac Les Dames de Bonneau is a superb modern Barsac — refined, fresh and beautifully balanced with impressive purity and finesse. Perfect with blue cheese, fruit tarts, foie gras, almond pastries or lightly spiced dishes. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably through 2040+.
