Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2010 – Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

The nose is aromatic, elegant and offers a beautiful aromatic power (full of freshness and balance). It reveals notes of candied lemon, quince, small notes of zests associated with fine touches of crystallized lemon, zests as well as fine hints of mango, apricot and almond. The palate is fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers fat, richness, roundness, precision as well as a small suavity, a fine acidulous frame, a good freshness, tension and a small straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of candied quince, candied lemon, small notes of lime zests, a racy minerality associated with very fine hints of exotic fruits, almond as well as a very discreet hint of sweet spices, vanilla and chocolate. A good toasted persistence in the finish.
