This powerful, dense and hugely rich wine has swathes of ripe yellow and citrus fruits. These are balanced with beautiful botrytis, honey and spice notes. Although tempting, it would be a mistake to drink it now. Much better to wait until 2024.

Gold in color, this is a wine with notes of spice, rich fruit and honey, which are all surrounded by intense botrytis. This is a wine that has great aging potential, and its superripeness develops slowly on the palate.

This big, spicy wine shows the strides that have been made at Lamothe-Guignard over the last five years. The character of the wine is powerful, sweetness concentrated into a hugely rich texture, flavors of sweet peach and lychee showing through, all the time balanced.

Emphasizing richness rather than sweetness, here is a wine that is dominated by the dryness of botrytis. It has powerful, dark honey flavors allied to almonds and spice. The fruit, though, is less obvious.
