Chateau Lafaurie Peyraguey 2020

WEINWISSER: "Tiefgründiges Bouquet, Akazienhonig, kandierte Orangen, Pfirsichöl und frisch gebrannte Mandeln. Am komplexen Gaumen mit öliger Textur, betörend würziger Extraktfülle und royalem Körper. Im konzentrierten langanhaltenden Finale türkischer Honig, weiße Mousse au Chocolat und Cointreau. Gehört in 2020 zu den besten Süßweinen. Im Hotel LALIQUE auf Château Lafaurie- Peyraguey kann man übrigens luxuriös übernachten und im Zwei-Michelin-Sterne- Restaurant die kulinarischen Kreationen von Jérôme Schilling genießen."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Aromas of honey, pineapple, orange peel and saffron follow through to a medium body, with medium sweetness and enticing dried fruits, apple tart and hints of spice. Clove and Chinese spices. 95% semillon, 3% sauvignon blanc, 1% sauvignon gris and 1% muscadelle. Drink or hold."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "The key to sweet wines is the balance between its luscious sweet fruits and acidity, Here, you find all that and more. With a core of roasted apricots, honeysuckle, spice, candied tangerines, mangos, honey and vanilla that coat your palate, it is the attention-grabbing, racy quality of the fruits, due to all of its fresh acidities that makes this an effortless, treat to taste. Drink from 2023-2055."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "The 2020 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has 127 g/l of residual sugar and a pale lemon-straw color. It needs considerable swirling to unlock a glorious, very pure nose of grapefruit oil, orange blossoms, and lime cordial, leading to touches of honeysuckle, beeswax, and ginger snaps. The palate is wonderfully bright and shiny, delivering a core of intense citrus fruit and loads of floral and spice accents, finishing with incredible length and tension."

DECANTER: "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."
