James Suckling Tasting Note (2018 Vintage)
96 Points - "Subtle nose of quince, lemon zest, orange, spice and some tropical fruit. It’s full-bodied and well balanced, fruity and spicy with a velvety texture. Savory finish with lovely length."
Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note (2018 Vintage)
93-95 Points - "The 2018 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a honeyed, tropical effort that has light botrytis, full-bodied richness, a big mid-palate, and a great finish. It’s not the most complex Sauternes out there but it has wonderful purity of fruit. The blend is 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon aging in one-third new French oak."
Robertparker.com Tasting Note (2017 Vintage)
95 Points - Lisa-Perrotti-Brown - "The nose of the 2017 Lafaurie-Peyraguey explodes with bombastic tropical fruits, stone fruit preserves, spices and florals with honey-nut nuances and a waft of crushed rocks. The palate is rich, concentrated, spicy, layered and fresh, finishing long. The blend is 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc."

It's amazing to think what a little havoc in the vineyard can create. Sauternes are made from grapes that get shriveled by an unusual fungus. Not to worry - the grapes are bursting with sweetness and flavor, resulting in this famous desert wine. Made with 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, it's gorgeous with apricot and marmalade notes. Well balanced. Not cloying at all. Brilliant with,or for desert.

Le Dauphin is the second wine of First Growth Sauternes, Château Guiraud, neighbouring estate of the mythical, Château d'Yquem. A wine of superb overall quality, fine and supple with very intense flavours and good structure. Will not disappoint with its delicate flavors of honey and apricot. Enjoy as an aperitif with fois gras and a delicious salty blue sheep’s cheese.
