Elaboration

Sweet white wine Grand Cru Classé from the famous Sauternes Appellation, in the Bordeaux region. It is a blend of 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes have been hand picked in three waves, to pick only the best grapes. The winemaking consisted in gentle temperature-controlled racking of the must before fermenting in new or old oak (depending on the tasting). The wine was bottled in Spring 2020.

Taster´s notes

Clos Haut Peyraguey Premier Grand Cru Classé 2018 has an attractive gold-yellow hue. On the nose, the wine is complex, with rich aromas with superb floral and fruity notes. On the palate, it is slightly jammy and spicy, with a lovely sweetness. We recommend pairing the wine with foie gras, blue cheese and desserts, such as cheesecake, almond tart, lemon tart, meringues, and custard. We suggest a serving temperature of 6º - 10ºC

The Winery

Clos Haut-Peyraguey was the smallest of the first-growth Sauternes to be classified in 1855. The estate covers 8.5 hectares, located on an enclosed parcel overlooking Château d’Yquem to the north-east. Old Occitan for “hill” or “promontory”, the former barony of Peyraguet passed into the hands of the President of the Bordeaux Parliament in the 18th century before being ceded to Monsieur Lafaurie during the French Revolution. The Clos Haut-Peyraguey estate as we know it is an offshoot of this estate, formed in 1879 and sold to the Garbay-Pauly family some thirty-five years later. This first-growth Sauternes remained in the family until 2012, when it was welcomed into the Bernard Magrez family.
