Intensity
This Sauternes, a neighbour of Yquem, remains unfairly unknown, despite being good enough to compete with the best wines of the appellation: very well-balanced, pure wines with delicate, refined substance and excellent length. More info

Château Raymond Lafon 1997
The wine
This luscious, almost syrupy dessert wine is powerful, very rich and complex. A very fine wine.
About the Producer Château Raymond Lafon
A non-classified cru with the quality of a premier grand cru, Raymond Lafon is evocative of the iconic splendour of Yquem, its neighbour. Characterised by very low yields, the wine has become one of the greatest in the appellation.
