Some wonderfully rich and ripe Sauternes and Barsac wines can be found in the Bordeaux 2017 vintage, but unusually the brilliant dry white wine vintage does not quite so easily translate to a truly exceptional sweet wine one this year.


Jane Anson’s top Sauternes 2017 wines

Château Guiraud was ‘one of the successes of the appellation’ writes Anson, with a ‘silky and concentrated’ wine.

Château Doisy-Daëne, l’Extravagant is ‘a fantastic example of accomplished winemaking’ and Château de Fargues is ‘really utterly delicious.’

The wines below all scored 91 points and above. Find all Sauternes 2017 wines here
