The 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a remarkable Sauternes Blend from the Bordeaux region of France. With its luscious golden hue, this white wine immediately captivates the eye, promising a truly exquisite tasting experience.

On the nose, the aromas are intoxicatingly ripe, offering an abundance of pineapples, mangos, candied oranges, apricot, flowers, honey, and marmalade. The fragrance is both decadently sweet and exquisitely racy, creating a sublime balance that sets this wine apart.

As one takes the first sip, the palate is enveloped in a symphony of flavors. Roasted passion fruits, mangos, apricots, pineapple, roasted cashews, and saffron dance on the tongue, all beautifully coated with a luscious layer of honey. This wine is a true masterpiece of sweetness and depth.

It is worth noting that only 1,200 cases of this exceptional vintage were produced, making it a rare find for any wine enthusiast. While it is already stunning upon release, the 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has the potential to evolve gracefully over the next three or more decades. This longevity is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of this wine.

The blend is composed of 95% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the best of both varietals. This combination contributes to the wine's extraordinary complexity and depth of flavor.

Renowned wine critic James Suckling awarded this wine a perfect score of 100 points, describing it as "mind-blowing" with dense and concentrated fruit, incredible depth, and power. Vinous also praised the 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey, awarding it 97 points and highlighting its fragrant bouquet, pure botrytised fruit, and polished finish.
