  • Neal Martin, April 2023, Score: 95-97

    The 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey 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. Drink 2028-2052

  • Goedhuis, April 2023, Score: 94-96

    Golden yellow in colour, ripe, pure botrytised Semillon (95%) jumps out with aromas of honeysuckle, barley sugar and mango. Deeply concentrated, plush and energetic in style, with a mouth coating opulence. Candied fruit flavours are laced with crème brulée and mandarin. All linger beautifully on the finish, making this a high class, fulfilling Sauternes.

  • James Suckling, April 2023, Score: 99-100

    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.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2023, Score: 18+

    Immediately appealing, gloriously fruit-driven and reasonably honeyed, I had hoped for a little more tension on the finish given the vitality on the front of the palate, but this is definitely a ‘High Silver Medal’ wine that just stops short of ‘Gold Medal’ status because just needs a little more length.

Region

Sauternes

It is not an exaggeration to say that these are the greatest sweet wines in the world. They are the result of a serendipitous marriage of grape variety, location, annual weather conditions and human care and determination. The vineyards are located on the banks of the cool spring-fed Ciron river which, in autumn, flows into the warmer tidal Garonne and creates rolling evening mists which clothe the vines until the afternoon sun burns them off the following day. This cycle creates perfect conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea or noble rot, and the resulting grape juice is a super concentrated sweet, ambrosial nectar which makes the most heavenly and complex wines with extraordinary ability to age. In 1855 the wines were classified into first and second growths, with Ch d'Yquem rightly receivingits own super status of premier grand cru. Other stunning wines include Chx Sudiraut, Rieussec, Coutet and Climens. While seductively fragrant and sweet when young, if you can bear to wait, you will be amply rewarded with lusciously rich, exotically complex wine.
