More About Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey Sauternes - De Labore Solis 2012

Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey “De Labore Solis” 2012 is a naturally-made, botrytised sweet wine from biodynamically-farmed vineyards in Bommes (Haut-Barsac), Bordeaux, crafted by Alain Dejean on an organic limestone-rich site where Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle are hand-harvested in successive tries to capture perfectly ripe, botrytis-affected fruit.

The 2012 vintage is fermented spontaneously with minimal sulphur and extended lees contact, then aged for four to six years in old oak and acacia barrels, resulting in a luscious yet finely balanced dessert wine. On the nose and palate it marries bright, honeyed citrus zest and saffron notes with richer layers of orange-blossom honey and dried stone fruits, all underpinned by energetic acidity and crystalline tension that keeps the sweetness fresh rather than heavy.

Because De Labore Solis is bottled as a Vin de France (rather than AOC Sauternes) due to the producer’s refusal to use certain additives or technological manipulations, it expresses both classic botrytised richness and a distinct, terroir-driven purity.

Meet the Producer, Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey

Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey

Style: Winery

Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey is one of the historic names of Sauternes and exactly the sort of producer that reminds you sweet wine can be genuinely brilliant when treated with a little patience and respect instead of being abandoned at the back of the fridge every Christmas. Located in Bommes in Bordeaux, the estate dates back centuries and specialises in richly textured botrytised wines built around Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

The wines are beautifully balanced between sweetness and freshness, which is what separates great Sauternes from something that simply tastes like alcoholic marmalade. Expect honey, apricot, marmalade, tropical fruit, saffron and roasted nuts all carried by bright acidity and remarkable elegance underneath the richness.

What makes Rousset-Peyraguey particularly impressive is the restraint in the wines. Despite all the concentration and sweetness, they never feel heavy or cloying. The acidity keeps everything lifted and energetic, making the wines surprisingly versatile with food. Yes, foie gras works beautifully, but so do blue cheese, spicy food and deeply questionable late-night dessert decisions.

There’s also a timelessness to Sauternes producers like this. While much of the wine world chases trends and fashionable grape varieties, estates like Rousset-Peyraguey continue quietly producing wines that can age for decades and still completely blow people’s minds when opened at the right moment.
