Chateau Clos Haut-Peyraguey Sauternes 1er Cru Classe 2016 i trækasse

Jeb Dunnuck

Ripe peach, flowers, and honeyed citrus all emerge from the 2016 Clos Haut-Peyraguey, which has the vintage’s upfront, ripe, forward style front and center. It has beautiful purity of fruit and is already impossible to resist, yet it’s going to evolve nicely as well.

James Suckling

The nose has very pure fresh-peach and mango aromas with a light, orange-marmalade layer. The palate has a beautiful array of fresh toffee and sweet ripe-peach and peach-custard flavors. Great balance, length and definition here.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Forward, fresh, and showing off its spicy, tropical fruit, apricot, orange and honey infused character with ease.

Wine Enthusiast

Dominated by Sémillon, this rich, luscious wine has layers of ripe fruit and intense concentration. Wood aging has sustained the richness of the wine and not overshadowed the ripe honey, candied peel and hints of almonds. The wine will age for many years.

Wine Spectator

This is ripe, with enticing mango, papaya and peach notes carried by a creamy texture through a hazelnut cream–accented finish. Showy

Robert Parker

The pale lemon colored 2016 Clos Haut-Peyraguey reveals a veritable cornucopia of tropical notes—guava, mango and pineapple—with nuances of spiced pears, jasmine, fallen leaves and allspice plus a touch of acacia honey. The palate is elegantly styled with all those intense scents marrying beautifully into a perfumed restraint, finishing with a lively citrus lift.

La Revue du Vin de France

From the first nose, we perceive its richness through a note of baked apple. Wine of volume and flesh, it evolves on a touch of spices. A richness that is balanced by its power and its muscular side. In one block, its very pure fruit carries within it a high confit. In this style that the estate has been cultivating for several vintages, this is the finest of the last three years.
