2009 Château Villefranche - Sauternes (375ml) $29.99 $17.95

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 375ml

Sauternes are rich, honeyed wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades.

Fresh, with lots of floral, honey and orange peel notes followed by heather and marzipan and a bright, juicy finish. There's nice freshness in the works, with a very lively, spicy finish.

2010 Château Raymond-Lafon - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Château Raymond-Lafon - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $33.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | 375ml
Deep gold. 'Let it warm a little bit because it's at 10 rather than 12 at the moment', say the Dourthe serving team. Lovely excitement on the nose. There is so much botrytis and richness here. Golden syrup and perhaps a tad lack of acidity. Round and gingery and lilies. Maybe very slightly over the top but no-one could accuse this of being too fresh and lean! Wonderful unctuousness - though taken to the limits of ripeness. As I say, I'd like just a little more acidity. Great richness on the nose.
2010 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $37.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | 375ml
James Suckling: 93-94 Points: Already a slightly dark colore. Beautiful concentration. It's rich and very sweet with intense notes of bitter oranges and honey. Superb finish that long and racy with notes of botrytis.
2010 Chateau Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Chateau Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $39.99

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 375ml

This has quite a bit of sulphur on the nose at first, but it clears with aeration. It remains tightly-coiled, with lemon, honey, apricot and limestone, demonstrating fine minerality. The palate has great tension on the entry, quite spicy and nutty in style, with a vibrant, zesty finish. This is an exuberant Sigalas-Rabaud with great potential.

2010 Château Guiraud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Château Guiraud - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $40.99

James Suckling 93-94 Points: Wine Advocate 91-93: The 2010 Chateau Guiraud has fine purity and minerality on the nose, with touches of passion fruit and dried apricot, later quince joining the fray. The palate is very well-balanced with a lively entry of apricot, quince and a touch of hazelnut. The middle and finish demonstrate fine tension and a lot of freshness. Individual lots seemed to have more race than the final sample, and I suspect it will warrant a higher score once the final blend is in bottle.
2010 Château de Malle - Sauternes (Pre-arrival)  
2010 Château de Malle - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) $53.99 $44.98

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 750ml
Pale, well protected against oxidation by Sulphur Dioxide, seems more fluid because of that, but well balanced and lovely aftertaste. Will show better in six months time. Drink 2018-2030.

Gorgeous apricot, ginger, green fig and honey flavors show lots of density, with a sweet, rich finish. A big one in the making.

James Suckling 95-96 Points: I love the botrytis spice character to this wine with dried apricots and tropical fruits. It's full bodied, medium sweet with a long intense finish. It's very layered. Wine of the vintage.

2010 Chateau Suduiraut - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml)  
2010 Chateau Suduiraut - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) (375ml) $60.99

The Chateau Suduiraut has a comparatively rich, botrytized bouquet with dried honey, pineapple and a touch of Seville orange marmalade, with exquisite definition and focus. The palate is well-balanced, with a viscous texture and a good level of botrytis, demonstrating fine minerality and tautness. Dried mango, quince and spice all interlace the focused finish, which is long in the mouth. Tasted against its peers, this has a higher level of intensity and focus. A superb follow-up to the sensational 2009.

Shows enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel. Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet, ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy.

2010 Château d'Yquem - Sauternes (Pre-arrival) $899.95 $749.95

White | Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | France | Bordeaux | 750ml

93-96

Picked predominantly over 10 days from October 14, the 2010 d'Yquem has 141gms/L residual sugar and pH 3.80. It is a slow-burner, the nose understated at first but unfurling with each passing moment with subtle scents of freshly sliced apricots, Clementine, clear honey and white flowers. There is an underlying minerality that really defines this bouquet. The palate is similar to the nose, revealing hidden facets with almost each swirl of the glass – orange blossom, limestone, white peach and honeysuckle. This is such a precise d'Yquem; it is after you have swallowed the wine that one comprehends just how brilliant it is.
