Lot presentation
Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 1er Grand Cru Classé 1996
The wine
Its creaminess and finesse reveal a fruity aspect and deep aromas. A magnificent, perfectly balanced wine.
One of the Sauternais' oldest estates, Lafaurie-Peyraguey is another of the appellation's stellar crus. Located west of the Rabaud Promis and Sigalas Rabaud estates, the vineyard is comprised of soil featuring medium gravel combined with fine alluvium, resulting in a wine that has been renowned as a rich and complex cru since 1980.
