  A unique white, like old Sauternes from the 1920s, showing grape skin, orange peel, apricots and pie crust on the nose and palate. Tarte tatin. It's full-bodied and very sweet but gives a dry impression from the tannins at the end. A masterpiece with a mind-bending finish. OMG. Speechless. 230 grams residual sugar. Drink or hold."

  This is already so good that it is impossible to put down your glass, as you want to experience every delicious drop of this nectar. The wine is packed from start to finish with honey-drenched, ripe, very ripe, and over-ripe pineapples, mangos, candied oranges, apricots, flowers, honey, and marmalade. Perfectly perched between its decadently sweet side and its raciness on the other side, this is sublime. This has the potential to be a future legendary sweet wine. If this is your thing, grab it as only 1,200 cases were produced. The wine blends 95% Semillon with 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2026-2055."

  Produced at very low yields, the 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a real success. Evoking a deep, complex bouquet of orange blossom, spring flowers, saffron, spices and quince, it's dense and deep with a full-bodied, layered core of fruit and a compact palate perfectly balanced thanks to racy, bright acids that conclude in an endless, polished finish. Massive, demonstrative and well-crafted, this is a concentrated Sauternes that should age with aplomb."
