Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2022

Fresh and brisk-edged, with a light chalk spine that's buried in notes of lemon, yellow plum and white peach. Lively finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2026. 660 cases made.

Sliced apples, dried pineapple and grapefruit combine with stony restraint on the nose. The medium- to full-bodied palate, initially austere, becomes succulent and textural, driven by acidity that leads to an expansive stone-fruit finish. Mostly semillon. Drink or hold.

Creamy, sweet and fresh, with lemons, green pears, green apples and white peach, and a nice hit of pineapple on the nose and the fruity palate. The wine blends 60% Sauvignon Blanc with 40% Semillon. Drink from 2024-2030. 92-92 Pts.

Slate grip and tension, concentrated flavours of pink grapefruit and citrus, with white pepper and fennel on the finish. This is a delicious wine, opulent but holds the line. Aged across 225 and 500l oak barrels, harvest August 23 to 26.

A Sauvignon-typical nose, marked by herbal notes and great agility. On the palate, vibrant energy emerges, accompanied by nuances of pear skin and poached pear.
