SO Sauternes 2020
SO is the leader of a new way of drinking and appreciating Sauternes wines. Priority is given to the expression of fruit and vivacity for this lively wine, which is very marked by the presence of Sauvignon. More accessible, thanks to a more measured concentration, SO is truly an easy-drinking Sauternes. SO is an organic wine from the 2016 vintage.
Points de distinctions
2020 vintage
After a turbulent spring, the summer in the Bordeaux region offered an ideal climate for rapid berry development and ripening. The warm days and cool nights of the first 15 days of September favoured a healthy state of health and optimal conditions, allowing good levels of oenological maturity to be reached before harvesting. The 2020 vintage is therefore looking very promising with excellent wines in prospect.

The castle
Often described as a "modern Sauternes", Château Bastor-Lamontagne favours freshness and harmony. With less concentration than some of its peers, it is a "relaxed" Sauternes for the aperitif and the beginning of the meal, which retains all its capacity for ageing thanks to its beautiful freshness.
