  • What the experts say...

    Depuis sa naissance, je considère le Nairac 2002 comme la grande réussite des vins liquoreux à Bordeaux avec le Château d’Yquem. Goûté plus d’une quarantaine de fois, ce vin m’a toujours enthousiasmé par le raffinement tactile de son toucher quasi cristallin et son nez fin, fruité où la nuance de citron vert évoque le Barsac. Et que dire de sa note subtile et gourmande de marron glacé et de fruits exotiques ? En bouche, très aérien, il fond.... Il doit au Botrytis la paternité de cette merveilleuse sensation de légèreté masquant un fond puissant. Finale longue, rôtie sans une once de lourdeur malgré ces 136 g de sucres résiduels. Un vin magique et incrachable. (Jean-Marc Quarin)

    Information about domain Château Nairac

    Nicolas Tari-Heeter, at the head of this estate since 1993, has brought this Barsac cru to the top of the Barsac wine hierarchy. This second cru classé in 1855 is located to the north of the appellation, less than 2 kilometres from the Garonne, which allows it to benefit perfectly from the humidity and autumn mists which are necessary for the development of botrytis. The vine varieties are largely dominated by Sémillon (90%)along with Sauvignon (6%) and Muscadelle (4%) and they are on average just over forty years old. Vinification is carried out in oak barrels (25% new), for 30 months.
