DEEPIX
At Château Sigalas Rabaud, historic property in Sauternais, Laure de Lambert Compeyrot will launch the first classified Cru of 1855 without alcohol. Le Figaro tasted it.
The bottle could not be more classic, slender with a pass that rises to the sky, as we like in Bordeaux. A quick glance at the label does not awaken more suspicion. The two eagles and the county crown – the coat of arms of the castle – are in place. Once the wine is in the glass, the dress is misleading. Just a little paler than that of classic Sauternes produced in the property. A simple question of nuance. The nose will deceive more than one: citrus, apricot, almond … A palette faithful to the appellation whose intensity is just two or three notches below a conventional sigalas rabaud. On the palate, if the Sautenaise opulence is not there, the aromas are there. It is a juice of great lightness. And the absence of the slightest drop of alcohol in this drink which has everything of wine is not obvious; She does not jump at the palace. Hats off, Maestro! In this case a maestra, since this newcomer is signed Laure de Lambert Compeyrot
