Lafaurie

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2016 Grand Vin Sec - Novembre 2018 – Wine Advocate - Lisa Perreti-Brown 92/100 Blended of 40% Sémillon and 60% Sauvignon Blanc. - The Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2016 Blanc Sec bursts out of the glass with lime leaves, lemon juice, green mango and grapefruit peel with touches of orange blossom and chalk dust. The palate is medium-bodied, vivacious and steely, with great freshness and a long chalky finish. Just over 800 cases were made. 2019-2029

"Very exotic and attractive aromas of white peaches and lemon curd with yellow-grapefruit, fresh-apricot and light, green-mango notes. The palate has a superbly polished array of bright white peaches and yellow grapefruit. Truly exotic and very polished. The acidity underpins smoothly fleshy fruit to good effect. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

"The 2016 Lafaurie-Peyraguey Blanc, the dry wine from Silvio Denz’s Sauternes estate, has a fresh, flinty bouquet that displays fine attack. The palate is fresh and vibrant, offering crisp acidity, hints of citrus peel and a taut, quite persistent finish. Excellent." - Vinous

"This crackles with mâche and sweet pea notes at first before giving way to hints of acacia and white peach. Shows a good crackling feel now but I think brief cellaring to let its fuller side unwind is the play. Drink now through 2022. 833 cases made." - Wine Spectator
