Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2019

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2019 is one of Sauternes’ benchmark dessert wines, produced at a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate bordering the legendary Château d’Yquem. Known for combining opulent sweetness with remarkable freshness and elegance, it captures the classic style of the region at its finest.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a brilliant golden color in the glass. Aromas open with candied citrus, honey, apricot, and a touch of vanilla, leading into a rich, concentrated palate. On the palate, it is dense and layered, with silky texture and flavors of tropical fruit, orange peel, and subtle spice. A lively acidity keeps the sweetness balanced and gives the finish a mineral edge. This is a Sauternes with excellent harmony and significant aging potential, likely to develop beautifully over many years.

Production
The estate sits on a high plateau in Bommes, where gravel and limestone soils create ideal conditions for Sauternes. Vines are farmed sustainably, with the fruit hand-harvested in multiple passes so only grapes affected by noble rot are selected. Predominantly Sémillon, with Sauvignon Blanc as a supporting grape, the wine is gently pressed and fermented in French oak barrels, about one-third of them new. It then matures for 18 to 20 months, adding depth and complexity while preserving the wine’s fresh fruit character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 8–10°C, with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, or desserts featuring stone fruit and citrus. It also works beautifully on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief aeration can help younger bottles open up.

Producer
Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is one of the historic names of Sauternes and has held Premier Grand Cru Classé status since the 1855 classification.
