Marks and reviews

Robert Parker

Neal Martin

Tasted at the de Myrat vertical at the property. The 2002 Château de Myrat is a little disappointing on the nose after the optimism provoked by the 2001 de Myrat. It just feels a little flat and tired after 14 years. The palate deserves better aromatics, because here one finds freshness and fine balance, a viscous texture and a charming, lightly honeyed, quite pure finish. It is probably on the downhill slope and the nose is leading. Tasted April 2016.

Wine Spectator

Big and rich with lots of dried apricot and pineapple character, intertwined with honey and syrup. Full-bodied, very sweet and a long finish. Very rich for the vintage. Well done. Best after 2008. 2,500 cases made.

Jancis Robinson

Slightly coppery gold. Very rich and correct. Definitely one of the better 2002s. Hint of putty on top of the ripe pears of botrytis. Full, succulent, almost overripe pears with no shortage of compensatory, rather than dominant, acidity. Real vivacity. (JR)

Andreas Larsson

Mature color and nose, dark golden with hints of autumn leaves, smoke and chestnut, with dried fruit. Good grip on the palate, more freshness than the nose suggests, sweet citrus, apricot and layered spiciness. Long, fresh finish with good grip and zest, fine drinkability today. Traditional style and character, but I like it.

René Gabriel

03: Medium yellow; bright. Open bouquet with aromas of chamomile and light honey. On the palate, medium-bodied, with a lovely acid‑sweetness balance and good length. 17/20 2006–2025

Bettane+Desseauve

Lighter color than 2004, a simple yet honest and pure citrus nose, nice roasted grape character, good length, well-made wine, highly recommendable.

Description

A fine, balanced, and elegant Sauternes wine

The property

The Château de Myrat is a family estate established in the Sauternes appellation. The wines from this Grand Cru Classé of Sauternes are captivating for their balance, elegance, and refinement.

The vineyard

Château de Myrat is a Sauternes wine from a 22-hectare vineyard located in Haut-Barsac, a clay-limestone plateau on fractured limestone.

The vintage

The summer heat, followed by a beautiful late season marked by rains in early October, provided ideal conditions for the gradual development of noble rot. The harvest took place from September 16 to October 29.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvest by 4 successive tries. Vinification by daily batches. The fermentation is carried out in barrels, as is the aging (40% new barrels) for 18 months.

Blend

Sémillon (88 %)
Sauvignon blanc (8 %)
Muscadelle (4 %)

Characteristics and tasting advice for Château de Myrat 2002

Tasting

Color
Beautiful bright golden yellow color.

Nose
The nose reveals a refined bouquet, blending delicate flowers, subtle spices, and seductive aromas of blond tobacco and cigar.

Palate
On the palate, the attack is ample and greedy, marked by flavors of yellow peach, candied pineapple, and fruit paste. The finish, generous and persistent, expresses notes of raspberry and red fruits. Of remarkable intensity, this Sauternes reveals a beautiful minerality that brings balance and distinction, in a typically Barsac style.

Food & wine pairings

Spicy tapas, prawns, foie-gras, curry chicken, braised veal chop, or even cheeses (roquefort, comté) and desserts (thin apple tart, mango mousse, fresh fruit salad) are perfect pairings with this Château de Myrat 2022.
