Tasting profile
A sweet but not cloying Jurancon with honeyed depth, notes of plum, and a lifting citrus edge that keeps it from turning syrupy. Complex and smooth on the palate, it drinks beautifully as an aperitif or paired with dessert.

What reviewers say
“Best dessert ever tasted....sweet nectar but with subtle citrus notes which prevented it from being overtly saccharine.”

Summary
Clos Lapeyre Balaguèra is a French dessert wine from Jurançon.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 423 French dessert wines. Only 26 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 27 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Clos Lapeyre Balaguèra lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Dessert · France (423 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 26.
