This Premier Grand Cru 1855 from the Bommes plateau represents one of Sauternes' legendary vintages. The 2001 growing season produced extraordinary botrytized wines, and Clos Haut Peyraguey's clay-rich soils—which naturally produce fuller, more ample expressions than other Sauternes sites—reached their peak. Ninety percent Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc, the wine now has over two decades of evolution. An opportunity to taste a genuinely classic vintage from a Premier Grand Cru at full maturity.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2001 Clos Haut-Peyraguey has a relatively high-toned, showy bouquet, much more floral than its peers, featuring yellow flowers, dandelion, mirabelle and saffron scents. The palate is cohesive with a fine bead of acidity, delivering nectarine, apricot and hints of elderflower. Spice, ginger and lemongrass notes emerge toward the finish, which lingers wonderfully. After a slow start, this turns into quite a compelling Sauternes." —Neal Martin

Decanter

"A darker amber here, with tawny edging. Clear concentration, this has walnut, beeswax, hazelnut, saffron, clove and pepper. Feels more evolved than some of the others, but that allows the more savoury taste of an older wine to balance the creamy richness of the body. This also has quite clear honey as it opens; good quality overall, but a little further along in evolution."

"Smells like pure caramel with just a hint of dried apricot. Full-bodied, ultrasweet and fabulously concentrated. This goes on for minutes. Coats your palate but shows fab acidity. Big, juicy young sticky."
