The Lafaurie-Peyraguey Golden Edition 2018 from Sauternes, Bordeaux, France is a truly exquisite wine. In this vintage, the Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey has produced a masterpiece with its luscious blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep golden hue, glistening in the light. The first whiff brings forth an intense aroma of apricots, honey, and candied orange peel, followed by a delicate hint of vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Flavors of ripe peaches, figs, and honeycomb dance on the tongue, leaving a long and satisfying finish. This Golden Edition 2018 is a true representation of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

The colour is slightly amber with hints of yellow. The evolution on the palate is surprising. It starts off with an intense freshness that surprises, then comes the mid-palate with a dense liquor that gives this wine phenomenal power; the vivacity takes over again on the finish, thanks to a slight bitter note of lime and mango. A particularly well balanced Cuvée Madame. Recognised amongst the finest wines in its appellation, Château Coutet was classified a First Growth in 1855. One of the oldest estates in the Sauternes region, Coutet has an exceptional terroir and a rich architectural heritage. An English fortress in the 13th Century, this citadel with its square tower, a design typical of the eras military constructions, became a wine producing estate in 1643. Château Coutet belonged to the de Lur Saluces family for over a century and currently is owned and managed by Philippe and Dominique Baly, with the technical and commercial collaboration of the Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A., the vineyards exclusive distributor. The name Coutet comes from the Gascon word for knife (couteau), in reference to the wines fresh, lively acidity and unique vivacity. In its youth, Château Coutet displays aromas of white flowers, citrus, honey, and vanilla. Age enhances the botrytis character to give the wines a deep, delicate bouquet with hints of spice and candied fruit.

France's Bordeaux, is the spiritual home of the Cabernet family of grapes, which extends beyond Sauvignon and Franc to Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. If you love Margaret River Cabernet blends, or indeed the Merlot dominant reds of Hawkes Bay, NZ, then you must look at the wines upon which many of them have been modelled. This wine is Cabernet and Merlot, deep and rich, cassis and earthy cedar, structure and uncommon length - all hallmarks of Grand Cru Bordeaux.
