Bright and floral up front, with honeysuckle and orange blossom notes darting to the fore while peach, pineapple and white ginger notes form the core. Stays fresh through the finish. Nicely done for the vintage. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2035. –JM

Mittleres Gelbgold, Silberreflexe. Etwas zurückhaltend, feine Botrytiswürze, Blutorangentouch, reifer Mango, angenehmer Honigtouch. Mittlere Komplexität, frischer, reifer Pfirsich, dezenter Säurebogen, zeigt gutes Trinkanimo, kann bereits problemlos genossen werden. (2020-2040)

Bouquet subtil et filigrane. Caractère floral et fruité, notes de fleurs de tilleul. Caractère équilibré, élégant, friand et déjà très accessible. Il a visiblement été décidé de de miser sur la finesse ! Bravo

Raisin, marmalade and honey. Some ginger notes as well. It’s full-bodied with a rich texture and palate. Some spices at the finish. Flavorful. Try after 2024.

The 2018 Clos Haut-Peyraguey feels a little closed on the nose compared to its peers, notes of beeswax and yellow flowers eventually emerging. The palate is much better with a touch of spice on the entry, layers of viscous, honeyed fruit tinged with marmalade and quince towards the finish. Very pure and very fine.

Très joli volume de bouche et aromatique expressive et profonde. L'ensemble est réussi avec une belle finale sur les fruits rôtis.

Honey, sugary, summery tropical fruits and apricots are concentrated, but there is a slight lack of botrytis and freshness here.

This shows a gold color with lots of dried-pineapple and honey character. Full bodied, dense and fruity. Already delicious.

Very direct, featuring creamed peach and glazed apricot flavors layered with a warm marzipan note. Rather unctuous too.
