Description and Reviews:
The 1994 Château de Fargues is a sensory delight with a delightful blend of spring flowers, candied fruit, pineapple, figs, quince paste, and dried fruits. Its sweet and roasted flavours of vanilla, spice, saffron, star anise, dried fruits, acacia honey, toasted bread, citrus zest, and mineral touches make it a long-lasting wine.
Serving and Food pairing The ideal serving temperature is usually around 10-12°C. Sauternes pairs excellently with a variety of foods due to its rich sweetness and vibrant acidity. Pair with blue cheese, foie gras and fruit desserts. It is also a great pairing to spicy Asian or Indian cuisine as the sweetness of the wine balances the heat in such dishes. Vintage Sauternes may throw a white crystal deposit which is a sign of quality.
