Made by the same Lur Saluces family that owns Y'quem, with quality often equal to Yquem and an exceptional value for the money. It is essentially Y'qeum at a quarter the price.

Minerality and classic fargues citrus/grapefruit are underneath and comes out with a bit of swirling. Palate shows initially full body and great sweetness, then immediately transitions to fabulous acidity that balances the sweetness (but no tingles as in very high-acid vintages). Complexity that explodes on the palate with papaya, mango, lots of tropical fruit, with wonderful persistence of fruit through the midpalate -- freshness without much lightness. Finish is medium-long. This is superb, young, classic Fargues in a richer style is exquisitely balanced. A top-tier sauternes with a very long life ahead. 93-94++

Tasting notes by Stephen Tanzer July/August 2008, Issue #139: 92 points. Medium yellow. Exotic, high-toned apricot, spices and flowers on the nose, complemented by coconutty, toasty oak. Very sweet and unctuous, with exotic, nobly rotten flavors of pineapple, apricot and coconut... Finishes with suggestions of vanilla and marzipan.
