| Chateau/Producer: | La Rame | | Wine Name: | St. Croix du Mont Reserve du Chateau | | Country: | France | | State: | Bordeaux | | AOC: | Ste. Croix-du-Mont | | Region: | Ste. Croix-du-Mont | | Wine Score: | 87 | | Notes: | This is a pleasant little dessert wine from Bordeaux, not technically a Sauternes but basically the same, at a much lower price. It had an interesting tart nose, like lime zest; the color was pale gold. It's not too sweet, but pleasant, with a hint of bitterness reflecting the nose. The acidity levels were well-balanced with the light sweetness. It had a nice long finish. There's a lot going on in this wine. I prefer something sweeter personally, but I can see the attraction, especially at a reasonable price. | | Tasting Date: | 2005-05-25 | | Additional Notes: | Paired with Pont l'Eveque cheese. | | Price US$: | 18.99 |
