Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This wine is ripe and offers plenty of dry botrytis to give density and longevity. With 95% Smillon, the apricot, orange and crisp acidity are coming together well. Full but not cloying, it will be delicious from 2021.

• Vinous: The 2015 Symphonie de Haut-Peyraguey, the chteau’s second wine, is lifted and weightless in the glass, with an airy expression of sweet floral and botrytised notes. Gentle and moderately sweet, the Symphonie will hold considerable appeal for readers who find some of the top Sauternes too sweet or rich. Lightly honeyed notes, baked apple and vanillin add the closing shades of nuance. This is very pretty and nicely done. The Symphonie is 95% Smillon and 5% Sauvignon.

Producer Information

Bernard Magrez both the man himself and his business is a notable powerhouse in the international wine industry, based in Bordeaux but producing wine over the world. The heart of his operation consists of four Grand Cru Class properties: Chteau Pape Clment in Pessac-Lognan, Chteau La Tour Carnet in the Haut-Mdoc, Chteau Fombrauge in Saint-milion and Clos Haut-Peyraguey in Sauternes. He previously made his fortune as the founder of the William Pitters spirits company and the low-cost Bordeaux brand Malesan. Bernard Magrez Grands Vignobles (BMGV) produces another 10 Bordeaux labels. Around 14 different wines come from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and the French portfolio is completed by white wines from the Ctes de Gascogne and Provence ross made at Chteau des Muraires. The Spanish portfolio includes wines from Priorat, Toro and Jumilla, plus a Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, while the Douro Tinto Vale Magrez is the sole Portuguese representative. Further afield, wines are also made in Morocco and Japan, and the South American lineup boasts a trio of wines from Uruguay plus two each from Chile and Argentina. The Bernard Magrez Cabernet Sauvignon is his foray in the Californian wine trade. The first vintage was produced in 2010, with fruit sourced from the famed two-hectare (5-acre) Beckstoffer Dr Crane Vineyard in St Helena. BMGV also owns the five-star hotel La Grande Maison de Bernard Magrez in central Bordeaux, and supports the major art gallery Institute Culturel Bernard Magrez.
