WINE DESCRIPTION

Clos Haut-Peyraguey Sauternes is a Premier Grand Cru Classé produced by the renowned winemaker Bernard Magrez in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. The vineyard is situated on a hillside with a unique microclimate that allows for the development of noble rot, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes and gives the wine its signature honeyed and apricot flavors. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes and fermenting them in oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with a long finish. Clos Haut-Peyraguey Sauternes is a perfect example of the classic sweet white wines of Bordeaux, and is highly sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This intense and complex Sauternes from Clos Haut-Peyraguey offers a rich bouquet of honey, apricots, and spices, accompanied by a delightful hint of lemon.On the palate, it is expansive and full-bodied, with an oily texture and balanced acidity. Concentrated flavors of honey, dried apricots, and white flowers are complemented by a lively mineral finish. A truly remarkable and unique wine that will age gracefully for many years to come.
