Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a 1er Grand Cru Classé estate, located on the high gravel terrace of Sauternes, 70m above sea level. Produced from a blend of botrytised Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, the 1997 displays notes of honeyed citrus and tropical fruits, a wonderfully unctuous palate and a long, evolving finish.

The 1997 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has been a consistent performer over the years. Dried honey, lanolin, beeswax and hints of quince are all delivered with energy and precision. The palate is medium-bodied, offering a viscous texture and ample honeyed fruit laced with orange pith and Seville orange marmalade. What struck me with this bottle is the acidity and race toward the finish. A Sauternes with more bite than I remember, hence my higher score. This comes highly recommended. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at home. Neal Martin1st August 2019
