Symphonie de Haut-Peyraguey – Sauternes – White – 2018:

 

The Symphonie de Haut Peyraguey is the sophisticated Second Wine from Clos Haut-Peyraguey, a First Growth Classified in the historic 1855 ranking. This cuvée offers an exquisite, more approachable rendition of the Sauternes style, demonstrating the estate’s mastery of luscious sweet wine production.

Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavours

Made mainly from botrytised Sémillon grapes, this wine perfectly expresses the complexity of the Sauternes appellation, benefiting from the unique fog and sunshine conditions essential for ‘noble rot’.

• Colour: Bright, pale gold.
• Nose: Intense and inviting aromas of exotic passion fruit, candied stone fruits (apricot/peach), honeyed notes, and a subtle undercurrent of cedar and spice.
• Palate: Luxuriously unctuous and full-bodied, yet it maintains a brilliant tension. The sweetness is perfectly counterbalanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a long, clean, and elegant finish.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

This fine sweet wine is best served cool (10-12°C). While a classic with dessert, its structure allows it to pair exceptionally well with savory courses, elevating any dining experience.
