Lucien Lurton Sauternes 2018
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
One sip of this and you'll understand why Sauternes is world-famous for sweet wine
The Lucien Lurton family have been making wine for generations, all the while chasing the next best winemaking region to work their magic on. Drawn to the finesse and style of Sauternes & Barsac, the sweet wines of Bordeaux, the family embarked on blending their very own Sauternes.
This is one of just a few Sauternes produced in 2018. It was a very challenging year in Bordeaux, with a rogue spring frost destroying much of the harvest. Fortunately, you've struck upon one of just a handful of producers who were able to fend off the frost and preserve some really exciting Sauternes parcels.
A glorious bright golden colour, with a strikingly aromatic nose of peach, honey, candied dried fruit and elegant white flowers. Super fresh and sweet on the palate, developing in the mouth to become much fuller and round before reaching a lovely long finish.

Serving advice

Food match
For the classic pairing, you can go with Blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-themed desserts. For a more modern approach : oysters, white fish, seafood, white meat, strongly flavoured or even highly- spiced dished, fruit tarts such as apple or rhubarb tart, etc. Connoisseurs enjoy Sauternes on its own, as an English tea-time treat, or as an aperitif.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Naked Marketplace
Every week, on our travels or back at HQ, we come across wines that taste amazing but weren’t made for us by Naked winemakers
At the price and quality, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t make them available to you. So we list them without a winemaker or a story under Naked Marketplace
They’re generally parcels and one-offs, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!
