Clos Haut-Peyraguey - 2009 (375ml) Burgenland Turns compact on the finish

Turns compact on the finish

with an alluring mix of both fresh and bruised apple

An almost ethereal white

Dionysus and Red Willow

The result is fruit-forward rye with layers of depth

Clos Haut-Peyraguey - 2009 (375ml) Burgenland Turns compact on the finishTasted single blind against its peers. The Clos Haut Peyraguey has a very fragrant, floral bouquet with a patisserie element: touches of lemon meringue, apricot and walnut. The palate is very well balanced, quite taut and spicy on the entry, not quite as flowing as other 2007 Sauternes but very zesty and tensile. This is an excellent Sauternes that will need time to harmonize, but all the constituent parts are here. Tasted January 2011 Wine Advocate
