Château Laribotte is a family estate dating back to 1855, located in the village of Preignac on the left bank of the Garonne river, 40 km south of Bordeaux, where morning mists create ideal conditions for botrytis aka the noble rot that gives Sauternes its complex, concentrated character. The 375ml bottling showcases the estate's signature style: a brilliant golden robe with an attractive, complex nose of acacias, white flowers, lemon, and a touch of honey, leading to a light, fruity palate of candied fruits and dry apricots, long on the finish with good acidic balance.  The wine is made from 90% Sémillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle, sourced from 60-year-old vines planted at 5,000 vines per hectare on clay, chalk, and gravel soils, with every harvested grape carrying botrytis. In the cellar, fermentation lasts three weeks at a controlled 20°C, after which the wine is aged in cement tanks for two years before spending 10–12 months in French oak barrels
