"89 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous.com
The 2009 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is rich and more mature on the nose compared to its peers, without quite the same definition. The palate is viscous on the entry with a lot of botrytis. A rather rich and decadent Sauternes with a touch of bitterness on the finish. This affirms its middling performance six years ago. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Clos Haut Peyraguey is located on the highest part of the Sauternes appellation in the commune of Bommes.
Originally, back in the 17th century, Clos Haut Peyraguey and Chateau Lafaurie Peyraguey were once part of the same, large Sauternes property. As you can probably imagine, just by noticing the similarity in both of the estates names. The name Peyraguey can be translated into the word hill, which is due to the superior elevations and slopes enjoyed by the vineyard.
