93 Semillon, 7 Sauvignon Blanc This is a very intense and incredibly citrus-driven wine with superb weight and energy topped with epic acidity. The pineapple notes are superb, and the texture is sheer heaven. The length is simply mind-blowing, too. I have only tasted a handful of Lafauries in my life this impactful.

Pale gold in colour, amber refelctions, with exotic fruits on the opening beats of apricot, pineapple and mango, fresh acidities that give a clean and juicy edge to the wine, and this finishes with knife edge clarity, but with plenty of power. Drinking range: 2023 - 2040 Rating: 94 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2022)
Incredible, young Sauternes with so much spicy, dried-mushroom, dust and powdered-earth character on the nose and palate, Full-bodied with a medium-sweet palate and a finish that is endless. Apricots, dried lemons and peaches. Caramel. Great balance. Greatest modern vintage? 6,000 bottles made. Rating: 99-100 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2022)
Château Lafaurie Peyraguey
Sauternes Premier Cru 1855 This was originally a fortification built at least as long ago as the 13th Century. By 1618, it was the home of Sieur Raymond Peyraguey. The vineyard business was developed by the Baron de Pichard, who bought the estate in 1742. Unfortunately for him, he lost his head in the Revolution and his château and vineyards were sold to a M. Lafaurie. The first half of the 19th Century saw Lafaurie-Peyraguey's reputation rise from nearly unknown to being ranked 3rd, behind ChâteauLa Tour Blanche and near neighbour Château d'Yquem in 1855. In 1879 a small portion of the estate was didvided off to become Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey. In 1917, Lafaurie-Peyraguey was bought by Désiré Cordier, who owned it until they sold to the Suez Group in 1984. The 40ha of vineyard are planted with 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. The grapes are hand-picked and the wine fermented in wood, before ageing for 18 to 20 months.
