Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2020

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2020 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a pale gold color, prancing out of the glass with beguiling scents of candied citrus peel, pineapple upside-down cake, powdered ginger and honeycomb, over a core of dried apricots and apple pie, plus a waft of lime blossoms. The palate has impressive poise and grace, countering the sweet richness with a lively backbone and delivering loads of stone fruit and spiced apple flavors, finishing long and perfumed. Beautiful!

James Suckling (96)

This is a dense, layered Sauternes for the vintage, with lots of dried apple, peach and orange, as well as spicy undertones from the botrytis. It’s full-bodied and flavorful. Serious for the vintage.

BOW (8.50)

Since the 2016 vintage, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey has released a very limited series featuring the ornate engraving "Woman and Raisins" by the famous Frnech jeweller, medallist, and glass designer René Lalique.
The Lalique factory in Alsace engraves the empty bottles and are then send back to the château each June for bottling.
This collaboration between Lalique and Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey offers a combination of Sauternes gold and Alsatian excellence.
Each numbered bottle comes in a unique numbered box in extremely limited editions.
