Tasting notes
The 2022 Château de Myrat has an attractive bouquet with dried honey and yellow flowers, lilting scents that gain a little intensity with aeration. The palate is well balanced, straightforward in style, creamy rather than honeyed in texture with a peachy finish. Fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

The 2022 Château de Myrat is quite backward on the nose, featuring scents of wild honey, linseed oil and walnut. The palate is rounded and viscous on the entry, though it feels creamy and misses some tension toward the crème caramel finish.
Luscious, rich and intense, great depth of flavour, grated ginger, saffron, citrus, lime zest, dips a little on the finish but bitter orange peel comes in to rescue it. Clay limestone soils, 40% new oak.
The 2022 de Myrat reveals aromas of caramel, spices, oak and exotic fruits, followed by a moderately weighted, juicy and round palate with bright acids and a delicate, lovely fruity finish. This elegant, classic Sauternes is a blend of 92% Sémillon, 6% Muscadelle and 2% Sauvignon Blanc. This has 150 grams per liter of residual sugar.
