James Suckling 99-100Incredible, young Sauternes with so much spicy, dried-mushroom, dust and powdered-earth character on the nose and palate, Full-bodied with a medium-sweet palate and a finish that is endless. Apricots, dried lemons and peaches. Caramel. Great balance. Greatest modern vintage? 6,000 bottles made.
Vinous 95-97
The 2021 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has quite an effervescent bouquet with orange zest, wild honey and crushed stone. The palate is beautifully balanced, very harmonious with tensile rich botrytised fruit. Almost crystalline towards the finish (I will resist describing it as cut glass!) Long and refined on the aftertaste. Outstanding. Neil Martin The 2021 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is one of the wines of the year in Sauternes. Creamy and beautifully resonant in the glass, it offers up a compelling mélange of pineapple, mint, ginger, orange confit, chamomile, passionfruit and floral-infused honey. The 2021 is exotic and wonderfully deep, yet not at all heavy. It's too bad Sauternes is such an out of favor category, as great wines like this don't get much attention. That's a shame, because Lafaurie: Peyraguey is truly magnificent in 2021. Tasted two times. Antonio Galloni
