BORDEAUX 2020 En PRIMEUR - DELIVERY June 2022. PRICES IN BOND.    96-97/100 Points. "This is a dense, layered Sauternes for the vintage, with lots of dried apple, peach and orange, as well as spicy undertones from the botrytis. It’s full-bodied and flavorful. Serious for the vintage." James Suckling

Since its acquisition by the lover of Grands Crus and businessman Silvio Denz, also CEO of Lalique, in 2014, Lafaurie-Peyraguey has undergone a real revolution with qualitative rise that has elevated it to the rank of the greatest Sauternes.
