2024 Château Lamothe-Guignard

The 2024 Lamothe Guignard has a simple bouquet with dried honey and dried peach scents, but I would have liked more vigour and complexity. The palate has a waxy rather than honeyed texture. Overall, this is a slightly stilted Sauternes that was hampered by the complicated growing season. - Neal Martin (04/2025)

The 2024 Lamothe Guignard is pale lemon-straw in color. It gradually unfurls to offer up notes of lemon tart, lime blossoms, and fresh ginger with hints of chalk dust and candle wax. The palate is strait-laced and understated with just enough freshness and a chalky finish. (05/2025)
