Tasting Notes: Sweet Wine. 93% Semillon, 6% Sauvignon Blanc and 1% Muscadelle. The pale lemon-colored 2016 Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a complex nose of chalk dust, honeycomb, and almond growing over a core of marmalade, peach cobbler, and lemon curd. Sweet, concentrated, and backed up by oodles of racy freshness, it has a very long, layered finish.
