My sommelier Gaston holds a bottle of 2015 Chateau Raymond-Lafon Sauternes on his tray, along with a typically enormous tasting sample in his right hand.

#12bottlesofChristmas #9. Anyone reading these posts has probably noted that I’m a sucker for great sweet white wine. This Raymond-Lafon 2015 #Sauternes is very good, but there’s a lack of acidity against the marmalade sweetness that makes it a little one-dimensional compared to the #Huet #Vouvray.
