Château Laville, Sauternes (Bordeaux). Clay-limestone soils at the confluence of the Ciron and Garonne rivers, where the morning mists rising from the Ciron create the conditions for Botrytis cinerea to develop. A blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
Harvested through tries successives: multiple hand-picking passes through the vineyard to select only perfectly botrytised bunches at peak ripeness. Fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels.

The 2015 Laville has a commendable honeyed, barley sugar-tinged nose that shows respectable concentration. The palate is rounded and honeyed in the mouth, very pure with hints of almond and peach infusing the honeyed finish, which leads into a spicy aftertaste. This is a pleasant surprise from a Sauternes I am not familiar with.
The property sits in Preignac, right on the edge of the Ciron, and is one of the oldest in the commune. It was also among the first to bottle at the château itself, in the early 1900s, when the norm in Bordeaux was to sell wine in barrel to the trade and let the trade bottle it and put a name on it.
Fourteen hectares on gravel bedded in limestone. Ninety per cent sémillon and ten per cent sauvignon blanc.
The Barbe family runs it, and there is an uncommon detail here: the owner holds a doctorate, and his thesis, defended in 2000, was on noble rot itself. He has spent the years since testing in his own vineyard, harvest after harvest, what he wrote about.
The wine is aged for thirty months in new four-hundred-litre barrels.
