Extremely concentrated, with a gorgeous kick of bitter orange, lime zest, and concentrated saffron and white pepper spice. Satin in texture, this has less of an uplift than the 2017 but is accomplished and impressive. 33% new oak. A yield of 7hl/ha. Drinking Window 2021 – 2044

93% Sémillon, 6% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Muscadelle
Jaune doré. Bouquet complexe, aux nombreuses facettes, marqué par la fraîcheur et le fruit. Ananas, fruits de la passion et mandarine. Nougat et caramel. Pêches, abricots. Attaque friande et crémeuse. Belle intensité aromatique. Les aromes se révèlent lentement et sont soutenus par la structure ainsi qu’une amertume positive qui soutient l’expression en fin de bouche. Finalement la tension est également de la partie et elle soutient la fin de bouche. Finale longue, persistante, minérale et racée.  2026-2053

The 2018 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is pale lemon-gold colored and bursts from the glass with vibrant notes of grapefruit, fresh pineapple, mango and guava plus nuances of lemongrass, crushed rocks and allspice. The palate has plenty of spring in its step with energetic citrus and tropical fruit layers, finishing long and zesty.

The 2018 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is one of the classiest wines of the vintage. Effusive floral overtones give the 2018 its lifted, gracious personality. Lemon confit, yellow flowers, mint, pineapple and passionfruit are all laced together in a mid-weight, beautifully persistent Sauternes that hits all the right notes. The 2018 is just sublime. That’s all there is to it.
