The 2001 vintage was an exceptional year for Sauternes, producing sweet wines with incredible balance and richness. The weather conditions were favourable for the development of noble rot, which is essential for the production of the region`s renowned sweet wines. Given the exceptional quality of the 2001 vintage, this Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey still has excellent aging potential, and the wine can continue to evolve and improve in the bottle. To enjoy it at its best, serve it chilled and pair it with rich dishes such as foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit-based desserts.
92 Robert Parker
The 2001 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a very refined, elegant bouquet that demonstates more mineralite than the previous vintages. great tension here with marmalade, quince and dried honey scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening. The acidity is nicely judged with touches of spice and nutmeg, although the finish is quite linear and does not quite deliver the panache of its peers. Still, this is drinking extremely well now and should continue to give pleasure over the next decade or so.
91 Vinous
The 2001 Lafaurie-Peyraguey, which just predates Silvio Denz’s ownership, has an attractive nose of dried honey, praline and walnut, displaying good intensity though not amazingly complex. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, fine acidity and a touch of orange peel and spicebox toward the finish. Elegant and refined, but it needs a little more length.

From a great vintage for sweet white bordeaux, this was extremely sweet and rich. Seemed to have such density that a long life lies ahead. (JR)
