Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a Premier Cru Classé Sauternes estate that's undergone a striking renaissance under the Silvio Denz ownership, pairing historic vineyards with meticulous, hands-on winemaking. Hand-harvested across multiple tries to capture only fully botrytized fruit, the 2016 is a Sémillon-led blend with Sauvignon Blanc, reflecting a vintage widely praised for its purity and precision in Sauternes. Expect vivid notes of apricot, honey, and orange blossom, with a rich yet remarkably fresh palate, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. A refined, food-friendly Sauternes in an easy half-bottle format — ideal for foie gras, blue cheese, or dessert.

97 Points
"Vying for the top Sauternes in this report, the 2016 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is made by Valérie Lavigne and is 93% Sémillon, 6% Sauvignon, and 1% Muscadelle that was harvested between September 29th and November 4th. Brought up in one-third new oak, it boasts a beautifully honeyed bouquet of orange blossom, brioche, crushed rocks, and flower oil. Thick, opulent, and straight-up sexy on the palate, it has balancing acidity and a great, great finish. Drink this brilliant Sauternes any time over the coming two decades or more."
