2009 Sauternes En Primeur wines are reviewed by Bordeaux expert Bill Blatch in the wine video below, to see how they're developing.
In a great vintage such as 2009, there is still a big variety to choose from. Firstly in taste and style of wine. Secondly in the length of time before the Sauternes are ready for drinking and the length of time they will age well for. And Thirdly in the pricing.
There are the usual premium priced, highly sought after Sauternes such as Yquem and Climens amongst them. But there are also some really good buys such as Raymon Lafon, Doisy Daene and Domaine de l'Alliance
Bill Blatch from Bordeaux Gold gives tasting notes for a wide range of 1st and 2nd growth Sauternes and makes his recommendations and tells you how you can pick and mix a case to suit your tastes.
