The lightly hued 2023 Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey Blanc is bright and racy, with gorgeous crushed citrus, tart pineapple, and honeyed mint-like aromas that flow to a medium-bodied, concentrated, yet absolutely racy white that stays tight and compact on the palate while still bringing considerable depth and richness. It's beautifully balanced, has high acidity, and terrific length. Depending on how the acidity comes together, it might rank with the top whites in the vintage.
