Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY
1er grand cru classé

The arrival of Mr. Denz in 2014 has restored all its luster to this 1er cru classé de Bommes, a perfect synthesis between the elegance and distinction of Barsac and the richness and power of the Haut-Sauternes region.

La Revue du Vin de France : 97-99/100 “In a very consistent vintage, this wine has that certain something extra… The sample is deeply fruity, indulgent and luscious, with an enticing flavour of roasted peach. Very pure, straightforward and progressive on the palate despite its overflowing sensuality, it masterfully balances its rich body (171 g/l, albeit less than the memorable 2022 and 2023 vintages), returning on the finish to a moving closeness to fresh fruit.”

Vinous (N. Martin) : 96-98/100 "The 2025 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is the only cuvée this year, there is no second wine. This was cropped at 12 hl/ha between September 16 and October 9 via three tries, one just to clean the vineyard, and comprises 100% Sémillon with 175 g/l of residual sugar. It has a very nuanced bouquet that opens nicely with aeration, dried peach, pear and light waxy scents, a touch of saffron in the background. The palate is beautiful, very well balanced with pure botrytised fruit, a little almond and chamomile towards the finish with very well integrated oak. This is a really classy Sauternes that has a long future ahead."

J-M Quarin : 96/100 “A hint of oak. On the palate, it has a delicate texture and is highly aromatic, developing notes of mandarin liqueur. A very refined palate despite the immense richness of residual sugars. A long, flavourful finish.”

Bettane+Desseauve : 94-96/100 “Powerful and full-bodied, admittedly a little less developed or open than others at this stage, but knowing the estate, there is no doubt about its class and potential.”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 94-96/100 "The 2025 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is airy and gracious right out of the gate. Orange confit, candied ginger, passion fruit and tangerine oil are some of the notes that grace this understated, silky Sauternes endowed with regal finesse and class."
