The 2024 Château Lapinesse Sauternes Half Bottle (375ml) is a luxurious and beautifully balanced Bordeaux dessert wine, crafted in the classic Sauternes style from botrytised grapes. The nose is rich and expressive, showing aromas of honey, apricot, peach and candied citrus, layered with hints of vanilla, orange blossom and exotic fruits.
On the palate, it is luscious yet refined, with flavours of dried apricot, marmalade and tropical fruit balanced by vibrant acidity for freshness and elegance. The texture is silky and rich, leading to a long, smooth and persistent finish. The half-bottle format is ideal for dessert service, gifting or enjoying over multiple occasions.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic introduction to Sauternes for customers who enjoy sweet wines with freshness and complexity rather than excessive heaviness. Perfect with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit desserts or simply enjoyed chilled on its own. Drink now or cellar over the next 10–15 years.
