Built at the end of the Ancien Régime by Jean Mollié, a disciple of Victor Louis, Château Nairac is named after a family of Huguenot ship owners who bought the property in 1777. The courtyard is flanked by outbuildings and cellars dating from the 17th century. As for the vineyard, records mention vines having grown here going back to the 16th century…Included among the second growths in the1855 classification, Nairac was noted as one of the finest wines in the region in the second edition of Cocks & Féret (“Bordeaux and its Wines”) in 1868.After a series of crises, the estate was considerably renovated and rejuvenated in the 1970s. Thanks to owner Nicole Tari-Heeter and her three children, Nairach as since regained its former glory. Her son, Nicolas, has managed the estate with rig our and passion since 1993. Nairac is one of the finest wines of Barsac. As rich as the best châteaux in Sauternes, it displays a subtle difference due to its minerality, unique flavour profile, and elegant mouth feel. Everything possible is done to retain vintage character, respect nature, and reflect the terroir. The entire crop has been known to be declassified in vintages when there was no “noble rot”.Very much aware of their role as stewards of this historic estate, each member of the family exemplifies, in their own way, Nairac’s motto: Inséparable d’une culture (“exemplifying a certain culture”).

Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Château Nairac has a little flatness on the nose compared to its peers: honey and marmalade at first, a touch of persimmon, but it needs a little more tension. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, rich in the mouth with tangy marmalade and orange peel notes, though missing some persistence on the finish. I suspect there are better bottles out there, hence the plus-sign against my score.

Medium yellow. Very pure aromas of ripe peach, lime and flowers, with a mineral component and roasted botrytis tones. Penetrating and perfumed in the mouth, with terrific cut and energy to its mineral-driven stone and citrus fruit flavors. Conveys a strong impression of calcaire energy.Wonderfully balanced, deep, very long wine with terrific finishing grip and aromatic clarity.
