Decanter: Gorgeous aromas of orange, clementine and grapefruit with orange blossom, honey, straw and salted caramel vanilla. Juicy and so lively, lifted and almost sharp which perfectly counters the sugary mid-palate with buttery popcorn, butterscotch, pineapple and apricot fruit. I love the mineral, flinty finish. Sharp, bright, tangy and rich but ends clean and focused with impressive attention to detail and such focused purity on show. 140g/l residual sugar (one of the lowest in the appellation this year). A yield of 14hl/ha on 6ha. Ageing 90% in barrels (1/3 new) and 10% in others."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2025 Clos Haut-Peyraguey has a pale straw-gold color, jumping from the glass with vivacious scents of juicy apricots and baked pineapple, giving way to hints of passion fruit, candied ginger, and acacia honey with a waft of orange blossoms. The palate is both rich and bright-fruited with plenty of honey-laced botrytis characters and a very long, spicy finish. The blend is 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. It has 140 grams per liter of residual sugar with a pH of 3.15. The alcohol is 13.5%."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Saffron, pineapple, vanilla, caramel, orange blossom, and banana aromas are the first things you notice. The palate is filled with honey-coated, spicy, tropical fruits, apricots, and brown sugar, with a long, and lively finish. The wine blends 70% Semillon with 30% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2028-2047."

James Suckling: Lots of botrytis character. Ample, unctuous and decadent, with medium acidity and a richly expressive, almost excessive palate underpinned by a subtle stony texture."
