Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2001

Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2001 is a benchmark Sauternes from one of Bommes’ historic Premier Cru Classé estates. The vintage is celebrated for its refined balance of richness and freshness, shaped by a long, dry autumn that allowed noble rot to develop with exceptional precision.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep golden colour with amber reflections at the rim. The bouquet is layered and expressive, offering dried apricot, candied orange peel, saffron, beeswax, roasted pineapple, and a subtle balsamic note of cedar and spice. On the palate, it is opulent yet beautifully composed, with mature acidity carrying the sweetness effortlessly. The texture is silky and enveloping, unfolding in layers of honey, citrus, and exotic fruit before finishing with a long, mineral echo. This is a wine with excellent ageing potential, and although it is already showing great harmony, it can continue to evolve gracefully for many years.

Viininvalmistus
The wine is built primarily on Sémillon, with small proportions of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, sourced from the Bommes terroir in Sauternes, where morning mist and warm afternoons create ideal conditions for botrytis. In 2001, the grapes were harvested through multiple selective passes to ensure only perfectly botrytised fruit was picked. Fermentation took place in oak barrels, including a proportion of new oak, followed by around 18–20 months of barrel ageing before bottling.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve this Sauternes slightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C. It pairs beautifully with blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, or simply enjoyed on its own as a contemplative finish to a meal. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief airing can help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
