A magnificent color, amber, honey. An incredible density. The nose is essences of perfumes, honey still but also candied fruits. Finally the mouth, rich++, creamy, ample and very long. A wine to die for.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

A wonderful bouquet of pineapples, smoky nuts, honeysuckle, and other flowers soars from the glass. In the mouth, the wine is rich, with the essence of apricots, pineapples, and other tropical fruits. The acidity is crisp, giving the wine great definition and clarity. The finish is sweet, honeyed, and long. This beautifully made Sauternes is one of my favorites from the 1986 vintage.

An improvement on the earlier, light grassy styles. In 1990 : very sweet, full of body and flavour. My top wine in a tasting of 24 '86s. More recently: punchy, delicious, 'one of best-ever-Lafauries'.

Lafaurie Peyraguey

Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey Wine Sauternes 1er Cru Classé. Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey Wine Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Hand picking of grapes by successive selections extremely severe (4 to 7 depending on the year) depending on the spread of maturities performed in order to not pick the grapes that have reached degree of concentration required by the action of the noble rot - Botrytis cinerea also known - and sought to keep accurate aromatic. Depending on the vintage, some plots are sacrificed in order to concentrate on those where the potential is qualitatively.
