The 1999 Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey has a well-defined bouquet with clear honey, buttercup, mandarin and a touch of spice – certainly more harmonious than the previous two vintages. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. There is good weight in the mouth, a little more edge and verve compared to the 1997 and 1998 with a crisp effervescent orange zest and citrus peel finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. This is drinking well now. ... More details

The 1999 Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a step up from the 1998. It has a disarming bouquet of honey, yellow flowers, orange pith and a hint of praline. While not intense, there is impressive delineation in situ. The palate is concentrated with a fine bead of acidity, and quite racy in style, with orange zest and lemon peel embroidered through the thick, honeyed fruit on the finish. A little obvious in style, but it does the job. Not long-term, but recommended. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at home.

Region: Bordeaux

Of all the wine regions in France, the mostly highly esteemed and famous is surely Bordeaux. Most commonly associated with their superb examples of blended red wines, usually made with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot varietals, Bordeaux consistently demonstrates that their mix of traditional and modern wine-making styles is the recipe for fame and success. The region benefits greatly from its humid climate, and the fact that its clay and gravel based soils are perfect for growing the fine grape varietals which flourish there. The region is split into quite distinct sub-regions, with the finest generally believed to be the Left Bank and the Médoc region, where many of the most well known chateaux are based and produce their wonderful red and white wines.
