Château Rabaud-Promis – Sauternes – White – 2018:

 

Château Rabaud-Promis: A Premier Cru Classé Treasure

As a First Growth (Premier Grand Cru Classé) from the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Château Rabaud-Promis represents the pinnacle of Sauternes winemaking. The unique microclimate encourages the development of Botrytis Cinerea (Noble Rot), which concentrates the grapes to produce a wine of extraordinary depth and elegance.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: Intense golden hue, gaining complexity and a rich amber tone over time.
• Aroma: Rich and exotic, with pronounced aromas of dried apricot, marmalade, acacia honey, and a delicate hint of botrytis spice.
• Taste: A full, silky texture on the palate, delivering an intense yet perfectly managed sweetness. A vital, cutting acidity provides the necessary backbone, ensuring a clean, fresh, and remarkably long finish.

Food Pairing & Serving Excellence

This luxurious wine is best served slightly cool (10-13°C). It is the traditional accompaniment to the finest British and European gastronomy.

• Classic Foie Gras.
• Strong blue cheese tarts (e.g., Stilton or Roquefort).
