Another mind-blowing Sauternes with dense and concentrated fruit, and incredible depth and power. Spices galore. Very sweet. 260 grams residual sugar. Twice the normal year. French TBA? 95% Semillon and 5% sauvignon blanc. - James Suckling

Tasted out of barrel, the 2022 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a different beast. Orange blossom, honeyed tangerine, honeycomb, and spice are just some of its nuances, and this beast of a Sauternes has a massive, opulent mouthfeel, bright acidity, and a clean, focused, incredibly majestic style. - Jeb Dunnuck

Ripe, very ripe, and over ripe pineapples, mangos, candied oranges, apricot, flowers, honey, and marmalade create the intoxicating perfume. Perfectly perched between its decadently, sweet side, and its raciness on the other side, this is sublime. The roasted passion fruits, mangos, apricots, pineapple, roasted cashews, and saffron on the palate are all slathered with honey. This has the potential to be a future legendary sweet wine. If this is your thing, grab it as only 1,200 cases were produced. It is going to be stunning on release. But if you prefer your sweet wines with age, this will evolve for 3 or more decades. The wine blends 95% Semillon with 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2025-2055. 97-99 Pts.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

The 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a blend of 94% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle, with 145 g/L residual sugar. Medium straw in color, it charges out of the gate with gregarious notes of mango pudding, juicy pineapple, and honeycomb, followed by hints of candied ginger and orange blossoms. The palate is full, rich, and decadently spicy, with a lively backbone to balance and epic length.--LPB, The Wine Independent

The 2022 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a very fragrant, floral bouquet with pure botrytised fruit, wonderful delineation and sense of mineralité. The palate is smooth and sensual, dried honey and quince, lightly spiced with a gentle crescendo on its polished and long finish. This is a very strong follow-up to the 2021. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Golden colour but still a little opaque. Complex nose with honeyed, roasted, citrus notes, the botrytis clearly evident. Palate rich and thick, a real elixir but you almost need a knife and fork. Honeyed notes again with a slight bitter edge. Could do with a point of freshness.-James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson
