Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey - Sauternes - White - 2021 :

 

The distinguished Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey, a Premier Cru Classé from the 1855 classification, sits at the heart of the Sauternes elite. Positioned on the highest point of the Bommes plateau, its gravelly-sandy soils and unique microclimate-defined by the Ciron river's morning mists-provide the ideal conditions for Noble Rot (Botrytis Cinerea) development.

This meticulous process concentrates the Sémillon (predominant) and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, resulting in a wine of profound depth and aromatic complexity. Since 2012, under the stewardship of Bernard Magrez, the Château has continued its legacy of producing world-class, age-worthy Sauternes.

• Aroma: Richly layered with notes of candied orange peel, saffron, intense honey, and a compelling hint of ginger and dried fruit.
