Description

Château Lapinesse Bordeaux Moelleux 2024 – The Sweet Expression of Bordeaux Sémillon

Château Lapinesse Bordeaux Blanc Moelleux 2024 is a French sweet white wine produced by Vignobles Siozard, a family estate associated with several appellations in southern Bordeaux.

Managed by twin brothers Laurent and David Siozard, the estate produces a range of red, dry white and sweet wines.

This Bordeaux Moelleux highlights the fruity and generous character of the Sémillon grape.

A family-owned Bordeaux wine estate

The Siozard family is involved in winemaking across several Bordeaux appellations, including Graves, Barsac and Sauternes.

Château Lapinesse represents part of this production, with wines offering different expressions of the region's traditional grape varieties.

The Bordeaux Moelleux is distinct from the estate's Sauternes, which belongs to a separate appellation.

Sémillon and late harvesting

Sémillon is particularly well suited to the production of sweet white wines.

It can develop aromas of yellow fruits, ripe pears, peaches and delicate flowers.

The producer describes its Bordeaux Moelleux as being made from late-harvested Sémillon grapes.

This approach encourages aromatic concentration and contributes to the wine's characteristic sweetness.

Detailed vinification and maturation information for the 2024 vintage has not been independently confirmed.

Tasting notes

The wine displays a bright golden-yellow colour.

Its aromatic profile features delicate floral notes, complemented by pineapple, peach, passion fruit and hints of hazelnut.

On the palate, the texture is rounded and generous.

Freshness provides balance, preventing the sweetness from becoming overwhelming.

The finish is harmonious, with lingering fruit and floral impressions.

Food pairing and serving suggestions

Château Lapinesse Bordeaux Moelleux is particularly suitable for aperitifs and food pairings.

It complements blue cheese, mildly spicy Asian dishes and sweet-and-savoury preparations.

For dessert, try it with apricot tart, poached pears or tropical fruit salad.

Serve at 10–12°C in a white wine glass.

The estate's more recently documented vintage has an indicative ageing potential of three to seven years, although this should not be treated as a confirmed drinking window for 2024.

Château Lapinesse Bordeaux Moelleux offers an enjoyable interpretation of Bordeaux's sweet white wine tradition.
