Description
Lafaurie-Peyraguey has produced some of Sauternes' most powerful wines for many decades now. The massively rich, yet fresh, lively 1970 offers a compelling, flowery, honeyed bouquet of vanilla custard, buttery orange/apricot scents, and smoky ceme brulee. The wine's zesty acidity brings everything into extraordinary clarity. With plenty of botrytis evident, this is a full-bodied, super-concentrated, fascinating, powerful yet elegant Sauternes that will age beautifully
Château Lafaurie Peyraguey is a prestigious Bordeaux wine estate located in the Sauternes appellation, within the Bordeaux region of France. This estate is renowned for producing sweet white wines, specifically Sauternes, using primarily the Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grape varieties.
Like other Sauternes producers, Château Lafaurie Peyraguey relies on the development of noble rot (botrytis cinerea) to concentrate the sugars in the grapes, resulting in rich, complex, and sweet wines.
