Château Raymond-Lafon, situated next to Yquem in Sauternes, produces botrytized dessert wines from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The 1988 vintage, here in 375ml, was hand-harvested in multiple passes and aged in French oak, yielding richness balanced by vibrant acidity. Decades in bottle have brought depth and complexity.

Mature and refined, it’s ideal with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92
"The 1988 possesses an opulent, full-bodied, exotic, lavishly rich personality, moderate sweetness, and huge quantity of extract, glycerin, and alcohol in its finish. The wine is also extremely young and unevolved. The 1988 offers a refined aromatic profile and tight structure. It can be drunk now, but purchasers are advised to wait until the turn of the century and enjoy it over the following two decades." -Robert Parker
