Lafaurie-Peyraguey
Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey boasts a strikingly beautiful 13th century fortress. This estate has had numerous great wines since the 1980s, impressive even in lesser vintages. In 2014 it was bought by Silvio Denz, bringing a no-expense-spared attitude. The future is bright for this already popular Sauternes.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90-93)The 2018 Lafaurie-Peyraguey Blanc Sec is one of the most distinctive dry whites of the year. Creamy and ample, with terrific brightness, the 2018 has so much to offer. Lemon confit, chamomile and dried pear all open up with air. More than anything else, though, the 2018 offers a compelling interplay of textural richness and energy. The blend is 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Yellow-gold color. Aromas of mirabelle, creme brulee, honey and spices, along with a faint fusel nuance. Dense, unctuous, powerful and complex; superripe and concentrated but with excellent acidity contributing structure and shape. Very long and sweetly oaky on the back end. This struck me as like a more powerful, gripping version of the '98. |

Wine Spectator (95-100)Wow. Unbelievable. Loads of lush spice and honey, with syrupy aromas. Full-bodied and superthick, with masses of fruit and a long, long finish. I have to buy some of this! Score range: 95-100 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2005 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a slightly waxy bouquet with dried honey, fig and light petrol scents. Fine delineation. The palate has a very well balanced entry and plenty of botrytis in situ, with a tangy, stem ginger- and lemongrass-infused finish that lingers in the mouth. This was impressive several years ago but has gone up another level. Superb. Tasted at the 2005 Sauternes horizontal held at Château Coutet. |

James Suckling (98-99)This is really crazy. The layers of fruit to this and the sheer intensity are really superb. Full-bodied and very sweet yet energetic and focused. Dense and tight. Tasted it and said OMG right away! |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95)The 2018 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is one of the classiest wines of the vintage. Effusive floral overtones give the 2018 its lifted, gracious personality. Lemon confit, yellow flowers, mint, pineapple and passionfruit are all laced together in a mid-weight, beautifully persistent Sauternes that hits all the right notes. The 2018 is just sublime. That's all there is to it. |

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (98)Enjoyable, plenty of pep and character, with satiny, precisely spliced texture to the apricot, nectarine and pineapple fruits. As it opens in the glass, waves of white truffle and ginger, with a zing of mandarin zest, become clear. An impressive Sauternes with decades ahead of it. |
