Wine By Nine

Dessert, Fortified & Fruit Wine by Ch. LaFaurie Peyraguey from Sauternes and Barsac, Bordeaux. Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2006 - #6! LaFaurie-Peyraguey has produced some of Sauternes' most powerful wines for more than two decades. The 2003 is no exception-Bordeaux's hottest summer on record produced a full-bodied dessert wine with incredibly intense apricot and honey aromas. To achieve that concentration, the chateau uses more than 90 percent Semillon, planted on 100 acres of gravel. -Wine Spectator
