Producer Information

The 14-hectare Chateau Laville in Sauternes is Jean-Christophe Barbe's family property. Jean-Christophe is also a Professor of Oenology at the University of Bordeaux, where his particular area of expertise is 'noble rot' which, as a producer of Sauternes, he has had plenty of opportunity to study at first hand. A frequent recipient of awards, including several golds and most recently a DWWA Trophy, Laville Sauternes is one of our best kept secrets.

Production

Chateau Laville has 14 hectares of vineyard in Sauternes that sits on gravel soils underpinned with limestone. The best plots are used to make the Grand Vin of Laville. The vines are approximately 35 years old. As with Delmond, Jean-Christophe passes through the vineyard five times during harvest to ensure that only the most botrytis-affected, or nobly rotten grapes are selected.

The grapes were gently pressed using pneumatic and vertical hydraulic presses. Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures between 20 and 22°C, in stainless-steel tanks. The wine was then aged in new 400-litre oak casks for 30 months prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

A bright golden yellow in colour, this wine opens with aromas of fresh citrus, candied fruit and a touch of spice. The palate is intense and layered, with flavours of dried fig, orange blossom and sweet spice, and the finish is remarkably fresh and long.
