Clos Haut Peyraguey 2010

In Sauternes, 2010 was marked by dry and warm weather, resulting in one of the most concentrated vintages in Bordeaux over the past ten years. Although botrytis appeared later than in 2009, the process unfolded relatively smoothly, and the cool autumn nights helped preserve the acidity. For “Clos Haut-Peyraguey,” this meant that the Semillon grapes had a very high sugar content, yet retained the necessary freshness that forms the foundation of its structure. One can expect the wine’s style to be more restrained and structured than that of the rounded 2009 vintage. The wine can be cellared until 2040. We consider the 2010 Sauternes vintage to be one of the best among those released since 2000.
