Clos HAUT-PEYRAGUEY
1er grand cru classé

Clos Haut-Peyraguey, a Premier Grand Cru Classé from Bommes, is situated on the highest point of the plateau overlooking the Sauternes region. The smallest vineyard among the Sauternes Grands Crus Classés, it covers 8.5 hectares of sandy gravel soil, predominantly planted with Sémillon. Created following the division of the former Château Peyraguey in 1879, the estate passed through several owners before being acquired by Bernard Magrez in 2012, making him the sole owner of estates in every classified appellation (alongside Pape-Clément in Pessac-Léognan, La Tour Carnet in the Médoc and Fombrauge in Saint-Émilion). Production remains exclusively dedicated to sweet wines, with a style characterised by aromatic richness, concentration and excellent ageing potential, bringing it closer to Yquem vintage after vintage.

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 93-96/100 "The 2025 Clos Haut-Peyraguey was picked in three passes between 19 September and 7 October with 140 g/l residual sugar. This is quite pure and delineated on the nose with vanilla pod, acacia honey, French patisserie and light almond scents. The palate is well balanced with a viscous entry. The acidity here is very well judged, the pure botrytis coming through and shaping the very focused finish. Maybe not the most complex Sauternes that I tasted in what was a fecund vintage, but one of the finest Clos Haut-Peyraguey I have tasted at this early juncture."

Bettane+Desseauve : 95/100 “Intense aromas of apricot, candied orange, honey, menthol and flint, with a smooth palate, a texture of great elegance and a lovely finish.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 93-95/100 "The 2025 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is a very delicate, nuanced wine. Hints of passion fruit, crème brûlée, mint, chamomile, floral-infused honey and orange confit fill out the layers. Soft contours add to the wine's total feeling of finesse, shaping the regal mid-palate and finish."
