Clos Haut Peyraguey 2020 (750ML)

94-96 WE / 93-95 VM / 93 DE / 92 JS / 91-93 WA / 17 JR

Barrel Sample. The wine shows richness as much as sweetness that comes from the intense noble rot as well as the wine's perfumed apricot and the hints of honey. Edging to dryness at this stage, it is obvious this wine will age impressively. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

The 2020 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is wonderfully sensual and polished. Lemon confit, passionfruit, pineapple, coconut and a touch of new oak give the 2020 its exotic, alluring personality. Creamy and wonderfully expressive, the 2020 opens nicely with a bit of time in the glass. It has been absolutely terrific in two separate tastings. Tasted two times. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Attractive, extremely silky and fleshy with deep apricot and nectarine. Has plenty of bright fresh fruits, intense and powerful. A yield of 6hl/ha, 30% new oak. Owner Bernard Magrez. - Jane Anson, Decanter

Praline, white flowers, macadamia nuts, candied lemons and dried apples on the nose. Medium-bodied and creamy, with nut and caramel character lending a gentle toasty complexity. Drink now. - James Suckling

Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2020 Clos Haut-Peyraguey offers up scents of cinnamon toast, praline and marzipan, over a core of peach preserves and honey-drizzled pears with a touch of baked apples. The palate lends loads of savory nuances with a lively line delivering the long, spicy, nicely balanced finish. - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Full bottle 1,360 g. Undated cask sample. 95% Sémillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Yields just 6 hl/ha. Fermentation in barrels (30% new oak, 70% second use) for 18 months. Bernard Magrez's Sauternes.
Floral aromas. Really positive start with botrytis and floral notes. Long and rich. Seductive and really pretty forward. Complex. - Jancis Robinson
