Owner's words
Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 2021 is a stand-out in the estate's history, with a vintage that evokes the true work of a goldsmith. It displays a magnificent colour with hints of gold and a phenomenally aromatic nose with candied notes and citrus zest, endowing the wine with a lovely freshness on the whole. On the palate, enjoy unparalleled finesse and elegance with a smooth, frsh finish, while remaining perfectly balanced.
