  1. The dramatic and sustained fall in Sauternes vineyard prices: between 1991 and 2023, Sauternes vineyard prices declined by more than 90%, representing a compound average growth rate of -7% per year. In contrast, the average price for Bordeaux AOP vineyards has slightly increased and is now more than four times higher than in #Sauternes. #bordeaux #bordeauxwine

  5. I'm reminded of two things: what a great value this was (although the days when I could get this 375ml for $18 are, alas, gone); and how much more interesting mature Sauternes is.More focused, and more easily absorbing wood,this is tight and a little tense, with big flavor on the finish. Nowhere close to dying, of course.

    Newer years are about $55 per half if you're wondering. This year might be available for not much more at auction, but backfilling is always risky.

  12. Whine or wine? Last night, picked wine. An odd duo for the main event, the Thalassitis 2015 Assyrtiko, with synthetic cork, was super. So youthful, so fresh, restrained and elegant. The Pegau 1998 Reservée opened slowly, but blossomed into pure deliciousness. A little rough around the edges, it could use drinking, but it was no slouch. And a sweet conclusion posted on recently. Who doesn't like mature Sauternes? This is the way! #wine #greece #chateauneuf #santorini #Sauternes #assyrtiko

  14. Part 2 of 2
    The thrilling conclusion!

    Open the bottle. With the damage, it didn't seem much like Sauternes any more. But the oxidized overlay didn't hurt it much. It was wonderful. As someone said at the time, "You cannot kill this wine." It is basically immortal.

    Look at that baked-on gunk on the bottom. I mean, somebody must've stored this over a heater.

  21. For some reason, the next 5 days are packed with trade shows. Today it M. Touton ... it was super crowded and hard to work the room because of their split between DC/MD and Va (those franchises can really mess up who sells what in which state). But still, there was plenty of great wine on offer!

  24. @jacopo_mazzeo Just read your article. Love the idea, though agree some will not. I’m open to trying Sauternes cocktails and will be trying some of the ones you mentioned. Great article. #Sauternes #Wine

  25. Sauternes' vineyard is shrinking and moving away from Sémillon. In 2021, the municipality of Sauternes (#Bordeaux) had 364 ha of vineyards, planted with three varieties: Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadel. Compared to 2017, #Sauternes lost 43 ha (10.6%) - almost all of it was Sémillon (-40 ha). #viticulture #wine

  27. Sauternes – shaken or stirred? - With consumer interest in sweet wines dwindling, some producers are looking to mixology as a new sales avenue. on @Decanter bit.ly/3mftpKy #sauternes #wine #mixology

  30. The 2006 U.S.-EU wine trade agreement protects 17 EU wine designations (e.g., #Champagne, #Burgundy, #Chablis, #Chianti, #Port, #Sherry, Rhine Wine, #Sauternes w/o the "s"). BUT there is a "Grandfather" provision: producers who used them prior to Mar 10, 2006, may continue using them indefinitely federalregister.gov/documents/
