Media Reviews
Neal Martin
The 2015 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a slightly taciturn bouquet at first, though it soon awakens to deliver pure wild honey and subtle marmalade notes, though it maintains a sense of restraint. The palate is well balanced and very pure, a sensual Lafaurie-Peyraguey with a very harmonious, light-spiced marmalade and honeyed finish. This is stylish and understated, but I suspect it will age extremely well. 93-95 points
Ian D`Agata
Perfumed nose of acacia honey, crystallised ginger, lemon verbena, juniper and fresh citrus fruit. Impeccable balance to the acid-sugar-tannin ratio and boasts noteworthy refinement. One of the best Sauternes of the vintage; refined yet powerful. 93 points

Greenish tinge. Mild mannered, putty nose. Lots of richness. Some prominent green notes on the end - a little aggressive at the moment. The acidity trumps the sweetness for now. And the finish is pretty astringent. 17- points
