Golden and alluring, Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2020 Sauternes weaves together vivid notes of candied citrus, pineapple and apricot with hints of ginger, honey and delicate blossom. The palate is rich yet lifted, with a silky, concentrated core of stone fruit and sweet spice balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, graceful finish that feels particularly complete for the vintage.

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes is a Premier Grand Cru Classé sweet white from the high, gravel-and-clay terraces of Bommes in the heart of Sauternes, neighboring Château d’Yquem. Based predominantly on old-vine Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and a touch of Muscadelle, it typically shows luscious botrytis‑driven notes of honeyed stone and tropical fruits, marmalade, and floral spice, balanced by vibrant acidity and notable ageing potential.
