Chateau Lafaurie-PeyragueyBordeaux€€€€€€€€Dessert Noble Rot
Among the finest Premier Cru Classe Sauternes, with an exceptionally high Semillon content (up to 100% in some vintages) that delivers an unusually pure, concentrated expression of noble rot. Pineapple, candied citrus, honeycomb, and powdered ginger with vivid acidity; the 2013 renaissance under Silvio Denz transformed quality.
