Archive: France: Sauternes

Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey 2003 Sauternes ($30, 375 ml). A an appealing mini-Sauternes, with juicy stone fruit, fig and honey flavors that are ripe and delectable, if not overly complex. Ready to drink now and over the next four or five years. (Weekend Wine 05/06)

Chateau Filhot 1998 Sauternes (375 ml, $20). Rich sweet spicy apple accented with honey and vanilla cream. (Wine Tastings, 04/03)
