Château La Clotte-Cazalis: Tasting & Drinking
There is more than one style of Sauternes, and while some estates outside the 1855 classification seek to emulate the intensity, flavour and botrytis concentration of the region’s grander wines (and some, indeed, do it rather well) this is not the case with Château La Clotte-Cazalis. This is very much a lighter and fresher style, sometimes showing sweet orchard and pear fruit, occasionally with a rather tense, pithy, citric and occasionally even steely style, but never any great richness. Indeed, it is interesting that on reviewing my tasting notes published below not once have I made any mention of the word botrytis.
