Clos Haut-Peyraguey 2022 – Sauternes, Grand Cru Classé

Nice fresh, elegant, airy, tense and mineral nose. It reveals notes of fresh/juicy lemon, pulpy/juicy peach and small notes of crunchy white fruits associated with touches of quénette, peach blossoms as well as a hint of verbena, racy minerality and a hint of elderflowers. The palate is fresh, elegant, juicy, nicely balanced and offers good definition, a tangy structure, accuracy, tension, minerality, lovely energy, a fine incisive side, gourmandise, airiness as well, a certain delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy peach, zest and more slightly – racy minerality associated with touches of fresh pineapple, hints of small exotic fruits, quénette, peach blossoms as well as a subtle hint almost acacia and with a very discreet buttery/vanilla hint (in the background). Good length.
