Clos Haut Peyraguey 2003 is a mature-vintage sweet wine from the Sauternes region of France. Ranked as Premier Cru Classé in the historic 1855 Bordeaux classification, Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey boasts a reputation for producing superb quality Sauternes sweet wines. "Ex-chateau bottle tasted blind in Sauternes. The Clos Haut Peyraguey `03 is a respectable Sauternes for the vintage. It has a simple bouquet of quince and lime flower that is atypically light and not precocious for the vintage. There are hints of caramel that emerge with time. The palate is well-balanced with crisp acidity. It is harmonious and pure with good levels of botrytis on the finish, with delightful dried mango, quince and marmalade notes lingering in the mouth. Very fine." Neal Martin, 2013
