Description

1921 Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey: Centenarian Sauternes Legend

The 1921 Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey Sauternes 750ml stands as an immortal, centenarian monument from the greatest vintage for botrytized sweet wines in modern human history. In particular, the miraculous 1921 harvest yielded botrytis of unprecedented concentration, natural sugar richness, and vibrant preserving acidity. In addition, over a century of patient aging has turned this golden nectar into a crystalline, mahogany-hued elixir of infinite complexity.

Tasting Notes for 1921 Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey

The wine opens with an otherworldly bouquet of Seville orange marmalade, dried apricot, roasted coffee, and white truffle. Furthermore, spellbinding notes of beeswax, saffron, dark caramel, toffee, and cigar tobacco emerge continuously as the wine rests in the glass. On the palate, an unctuous, syrupy attack is balanced by astonishingly fresh, vibrant acidity that keeps the massive sweetness weightless. Consequently, the finish reverberates for minutes with honeyed ginger, candied citrus, and sovereign persistence.
