CHATEAU LAFAURIE PEYRAGUEY 1er Cru Classe 2010

The Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2010 is a little more backward on the nose compared to its peers, with tightly wound scents of dried honey, tropical fruit quince and melted butter. The oak is well integrated. The palate is well-balanced on the entry, the viscous fruit neatly offset by the crisp line of acidity that keeps the finish taut and linear. This is a stylish Sauternes full of breeding and class. Perhaps it has wider appeal than its peers and it serves as a perfect introduction to the Sauternes vintage.

Drink 2020–2034

Pale to medium lemon-gold color, the 2010 Lafaurie-Peyraguey dishes up fragrant notes of jasmine, musk perfume, spiced pears and apple tart with nuances of honeycomb and praline plus a waft of chalk dust. The full-on decadent palate possesses impressive tension with loads of spicy sparks and a mineral-laced finish. Lookin' good right now and should cellar a further 12-14 years.
