Tasting Notes

The 2024 Clos Haut-Peyraguey has a well-defined nose that lacks the complexity of some of its peers. Wild honey, quince and light almond scents unfold in the glass. The palate is fresh and clinical on the entry, with apricot mixed with notes of tangerine, although I would like to see more nuance on the slightly short yet refreshing finish.

Score: 91 - 93 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2026-2046 Date: 01 May 2025

The 2024 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is the result of three picks from September 19 to October 16, with most of the fruit coming from the middle pick. Readers will find a heady, dense Sauternes with a distinctly structural, almost tannic feel. The 130 grams of residual sugar are very nicely integrated into the wine's frame. Apricot, chamomile, spice, pineapple, passion fruit and a kiss of French oak linger on the imposing finish. Superb. Tasted three times.

Sharp and focused, this has plenty of grip and lift, orange zest and powerful saffron spice, superb quality, these are lovely wines. 14 hl/ha, 90% in oak of which 1/3 is new.
