Château Bastor-Lamontagne 2022

The 2022 Bastor-Lamontagne has a pure bouquet with honeysuckle, dried honey and quince aromas. With much more focus than in previous vintages, the palate is well balanced with tangy marmalade notes on the entry. There’s fine acidity, and the 2022 is harmonious with a minerally finish. It’s the best wine I have tasted from this fast-improving Sauternes estate. Drinking window: 2027-2047. Score – 93-95. (Neal Martin, vinous.com, May 16, 2023)
