Description
The La Chapelle de Lafaurie 2017 is the elegant second wine selection from the traditional Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey and reflects the signature style of one of the most renowned Sauternes producers in a particularly accessible way. The winery has been classified as a Premier Cru Classé of the region since 1855 and is known for sweet wines that uniquely combine precision, freshness, and terroir. La Chapelle de Lafaurie combines these qualities with a charming and particularly harmonious style.
The 2017 vintage presents itself as balanced, multifaceted, and remarkably elegant. The natural sweetness is accompanied by a vibrant freshness that gives the wine tension and lightness. Instead of pure opulence or concentration, it focuses on balance, finesse, and expression. It is precisely this combination of freshness, depth, and subtle complexity that makes it particularly characterful and versatile.
The aging process is carried out with great care to best preserve the wine's elegance and terroir character. This results in a sweet Bordeaux with a fine structure, harmonious texture, and a long, elegant finish. The La Chapelle de Lafaurie 2017 embodies the classic Sauternes style in a particularly accessible and enjoyable form.
