🏰"The 1997 Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a Premier Cru Classe Sauternes that has been a consistent performer, exhibiting considerable botrytis and a thick, unctuously-textured style, now at perfect maturity." This superb 1997 exhibits considerable botrytis, as well as a thick, unctuously-textured style. The estate's vineyards are composed of silica-gravel and clay-gravel soils, planted to 93% Semillon, 6% Sauvignon Blanc, and 1% Muscadelle. The wines are aged in oak, of which around a third is new. Part of the chateau is now a luxury hotel with a Michelin starred restaurant. Displays gorgeous aromas of coconut, honeyed oranges, tangerines, pineapples, mangoes, and other tropical fruits. It is medium to full-bodied and super-rich, but not a blockbuster. Possesses low acidity and a long, 40-second finish. A rich, honeyed bouquet with touches of lanolin, beeswax and undergrowth, open and vibrant. The palate is medium-bodied, viscous on the entry, fat in the mouth with impressive tension and animation towards the finish, hints of bitter orange and marmalade. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH A classic pairing with foie gras (terrine-style or pan-seared).
