Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (90)

Bottled two months ago, the 2012 Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a slightly earthier bouquet compared to the 2011 with touches of lemon peel, honeysuckle and orange zest. The palate is well balanced with a noticeably spicy entry. Moderate weight in the mouth, quite vibrant with good botrytis if not the depth and elegance of the previous vintage. This will probably be earlier drinking than the 2011, but it is finely crafted.

Plump, rich and forward, with lemon curd, creamed pineapple and heather honey notes that drape over the green plum–tinged finish. A solid effort for the vintage.

Tasted blind. Some botrytis and weight. Some real pleasure. Clean and direct. Quite chewy with a beginning, middle and end. (JR)

The 2012 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a success given the challenges of the growing season. It has a lighter bouquet than the previous two vintages, offering lemon curd, honeysuckle and subtle damp earth aromas. The palate is balanced though not deep, displaying modest weight and a respectable botrytis element. It feels a touch monochromatic compared to the superior 2011, but it is a well-made, early-drinking Sauternes. Tasted from an ex-château bottle sent to my home.
