2020 Lafaurie-Peyraguey (Sauternes)

Media Reviews

Jane Anson

Burnt amber colour. There is a lot of intensity to this wine, a ton of orange zest, powerful truffle and apricot purée flavours and spliced citrus. A yield of 7hl/ha. 1/3 new oak ageing for 12 months; then in stainless steel for nine months. Tasted three times. 95 points

The 2020 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a pale gold color, prancing out of the glass with beguiling scents of candied citrus peel, pineapple upside-down cake, powdered ginger and honeycomb, over a core of dried apricots and apple pie, plus a waft of lime blossoms. The palate has impressive poise and grace, countering the sweet richness with a lively backbone and delivering loads of stone fruit and spiced apple flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful! 93-95+ points

Deep, dark gold. Very sweet and rich on the nose. Then a bit diffuse/loose on the palate. Could do with a little more focus. 16 points
