Chateau Prost 2015
Tasting notes
This elegant Sauternes show a brilliant golden color. The aromoas are attractive and complex on the nose of acacias, white flowers, lemon, and a touch of honey. It has a light, fruity mouth with flavors of candied fruits and dry apricots. Long on the palate with backbone, reflecting good acidic balance. Excellent ageing potential. Serve chilled as an aperitif, and with foie gras, white cheeses, and savory desserts.
History
Chateau Prost This property was originally known under the name of Montalis as far back as 1602, when Mathurin Baudoin, lord of the noble houses of Bosc (Nairac), Luzies and Montalis
(Prost), paid tribute to the Duc d'Epernon. The noble house of Montalis, with its vineyards, winery and wine store house subsequently passed from one family to another by inheritance or
sales. It was purchased after the French Revolution by Mr Prost who renamed it after himself. Later the Boireau family was owner for over a century and a half. When Jean Perromat inherited Chateau Luzies, he decided to acquire Chateau Prost and its vineyard in 1965. Just in front of Chateau Nairac and Chateau Luzies, the vineyard is located on an old terrace near the church overlooking the Garonne.In 1855, and in the Edouard Feret's book on Bordeaux and its wines, Prost (Montalis ) was classified as "cru bourgeois superieur".
