  • Neal Martin, October 2014, Score: 89

    he de Malle 2001 has a soft apricot and marmalade scented bouquet with just a touch of burnt toffee. The palate is ripe on the entry with a hint of spice. It is quite compact but with good weight in the mouth, though it cuts away abruptly on the marmalade-tinged finish and consequently I have to shave a couple of points off my score.

  • Robert Parker, June 2004, Score: 93

    Wine Advocate #153 (Jun 2004) Drink 2006-2026A fabulous effort, the 2001 De Malle is closed aromatically, but it exhibits tremendous palate penetration, deep, full-bodied flavors, great acidity for balance, and marvelous notes of lavender, honey, pineapple, creme brulee, and spice. This is a sensationally textured, long, medium gold-colored, moderately sweet 2001. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two decades.

  • Clive Coates, December 2004, Score: 13.0

    The Vine Dec 2004 Drink 2008-2020Mid-gold colour. Slightly herbaceous on thenose. A touch green. Medium-full. On thedry side. Less so on the attack, but the finishhas this same hard edge to it. Mediumweight. Lacks a bit of concentration. Onlyfair. (A second bottle, sampled later, wassimilar).

This magnificent second growth estate, complete with 17th century château was historically owned by the Lur Saluces family (of Yquem fame), but since 1785 came into the custodianship of the Bournazel family.The vineyards are situated in the communes of Preignac and of Fargues. Of this huge estate which produces white red and sweet white wine, only 28 hectares of the vineyard area are dedicated to the making of Sauternes. The vinyards are planted with 69% semillon, 28% sauvignon blanc and 3% muscadelle grapes with average ages of 30-40 years. Barrel ageing is in one third new barrels every vintage for 20-24 months. Bottling occurs 2-3 years after the vintage.Read less

Region

Sauternes

It is not an exaggeration to say that these are the greatest sweet wines in the world. They are the result of a serendipitous marriage of grape variety, location, annual weather conditions and human care and determination. The vineyards are located on the banks of the cool spring-fed Ciron river which, in autumn, flows into the warmer tidal Garonne and creates rolling evening mists which clothe the vines until the afternoon sun burns them off the following day. This cycle creates perfect conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea or noble rot, and the resulting grape juice is a super concentrated sweet, ambrosial nectar which makes the most heavenly and complex wines with extraordinary ability to age. In 1855 the wines were classified into first and second growths, with Ch d'Yquem rightly receivingits own super status of premier grand cru. Other stunning wines include Chx Sudiraut, Rieussec, Coutet and Climens. While seductively fragrant and sweet when young, if you can bear to wait, you will be amply rewarded with lusciously rich, exotically complex wine.
