Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 1989 presents a clear golden hue, indicative of its age. The nose reveals notes of stone fruit, particularly apricot, alongside subtle oak nuances and hints of honey. A touch of minerality underlies the aromas, providing depth. On the palate, the wine offers a balanced acidity, with flavours of peach and preserved citrus, leading to a finish that showcases some herbal qualities. This estate, established in 1840, holds a strong reputation for producing elegant Sauternes. The 1989 vintage exemplifies their commitment to craftsmanship.
