The 1970 Château Piada offers a gracefully aged window into the timeless elegance of Sauternes. From a historic Barsac estate known for its restrained, honeyed style, this vintage delivers a delicately perfumed, amber-hued expression that remains as vibrant as it is rich, even after five decades.

Product Details:

  • Owner: Jean-François Lalande
  • Varietal: Sémillon (primary)
  • Alcohol: 13.5%
  • Color: Dessert Wine (White)
  • Farming Practices: Conventional

Sensory Description:

Now golden and deeply aromatic, the 1970 vintage reveals layered notes of dried tropical fruit, marmalade, acacia honey, saffron, and toasted brioche. Time has softened its sweetness into something more textural than cloying, with a velvety mouthfeel supported by fresh acidity and a persistent, spice-laced finish. Its evolution is a tribute to the potential of Barsac terroir and botrytized Sémillon.

Winemaker's Background:

Situated on the limestone plateau of Barsac, just across the Ciron River, Château Piada benefits from the unique mesoclimate that fosters noble rot (botrytis cinerea), the signature of all great Sauternes. The estate, owned by Jean-François Lalande, has a reputation for crafting finely detailed dessert wines with freshness and aromatic purity at the forefront.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve lightly chilled at around 6°C in a small tulip glass to capture its full aromatic spectrum. Ideal pairings include foie gras en brioche, Roquefort-stuffed puff pastry, or classic French veal sweetbreads in cream sauce. It also performs beautifully on its own as a contemplative after-dinner pour.

The 1970 Château Piada stands as a noble reminder that Sauternes, when crafted with integrity and patience, can mature with stunning grace. This is a dessert wine of stature, ideal for collectors or special moments that deserve a taste of history.
