Clos Haut-Peyraguey: Tasting & Drinking
In my experience the wines of Clos Haut-Peyraguey have been of good quality, although in answer to the obvious question the wines do not quite match Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey in terms of sheer class and finesse. They have a fresh and more gentle style, perhaps showing less of the exuberant botrytis-rich explosion that Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey can furnish us with. Having said that, it is perhaps not fair to compare the two siblings, when my experience of big brother Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is so wide-ranging, taking in many mature vintages, whereas with the offshoot of Clos Haut-Peyraguey the vintages I have been exposed to were all tasted when young or relatively so.
