Lafaurie-Peyraguey (750ML)

From Sauternes

Vintage:	2022
Description:	99-100 JS / 97-99 Jd / 95-97+ Wi / 95-97 Vm. Another mind-blowing Sauternes with dense and concentrated fruit, and incredible depth and power. Spices galore. Very sweet. 260 grams residual sugar. Twice the normal year. French Tba? 95% semillon and 5% sauvignon blanc. - James Suckling. Tasted out of barrel, the 2022 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a different beast. Orange blossom, honeyed tangerine, honeycomb, and spice are just some of its nuances, and this beast of a Sauternes has a massive, opulent mouthfeel, bright acidity, and a clean, focused, incredibly majestic style. - Jeb Dunnuck. The 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a blend of 94% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle, with 145 g/L residual sugar. Medium straw in color, it charges out of the gate with gregarious notes of mango pudding, juicy pineapple, and honeycomb, followed by hints of candied ginger and orange blossoms. The palate is full, rich, and decadently spicy, with a lively backbone to balance and epic length.--LPB, The Wine Independant. The 2022 LafauriePeyraguey has a very fragrant, floral bouquet with pure botrytised fruit, wonderful delineation and sense of mineralité. The palate is smooth and sensual, dried honey and quince, lightly spiced with a gentle crescendo on its polished and long finish. This is a very strong follow-up to the 2021. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media
