Château Lamothe-Guignard 1988

From the Sauternes appellation, Château Lamothe-Guignard is one-half of the original estate Château Lamothe which was ranked as a Second Growth Premier Cru (2eme-Cru) in Bordeaux' famed 1855 Classification of the Medoc.

The wines of Sauternes are produced from a blend of the white wine grapes Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and occasionally a small amount of Muscadelle, left on the vines until affected by the noble fungus, Botrytis Cinerea, which dehydrates the grapes to raisins, leaving only the sweet sugary pulp with which to make the one of the worlds most sought after sweet wines.
