Buying options
Tasting notes
Honeyed orange, exotic flowers, brioche, cream, wonderful purity, and serious botrytis character all emerge from the 2024 Château Lafaurie Peyraguey Coeur De Terroir, a medium to full-bodied, rich, and opulent Sauternes that has terrific acidity, balance, and length. Made from Sémillon, it spent nine months in barrel followed by nine months in stainless steel. This is a gorgeous Sauternes in the making.

The 2024 Lafaurie is bright, floral and nicely lifted. Crushed flowers, chalk, mint and white pepper lend notable aromatic brilliance to a core of red-toned fruit. The 2024 feels just a bit light on the mid-palate, but it’s a solid wine for the year.
Apple crumble, saffron, mango, pineapple, bitter orange peel without being overpowering, sharp, well balanced, great quality, one to sink into and share with friends. Silvio Denz owner, 12 hl/ha yield.
The 2024 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a well-defined bouquet with pure honey, peach skin and marmalade scents that blossom in the glass. Very fine delineation. The palate is taut and fresh, revealing notes of peach, pear, quince and mango laced with crushed stone. It eases off the accelerator on the stem ginger-tinged finish to furnish this Sauternes with a taut and tensile aftertaste. Classy and sophisticated.
