Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes(2001)

The 1986 vintage was a turning point for Lafaurie-Peyraguey, one that indicated the estate was clearly on the up following the installation of Yannick Laporte as regisseur in 1983, replacing Pierre Patachon. Nevertheless, some commentators enjoyed the wines of Patachon's regime, and I was interested to see that Clive Coates had respect for the 1975 vintage, describing it as a 'major success'. It was drying out somewhat when I tasted it in 2002, but was certainly a wine of quality. The 1986, however, was a turning point not just for Lafaurie-Peyraguey but also for me, a wake-up read more...
