Château de Fargues is a very old wine estate located in the prestigious Sauternes appellation which is known for its unique sweet white wine. This estate has belonged to the Lur Saluces family (former owners of Château d'Yquem too) since 1472, a unique example of continuity and longevity of heritage. The history of this family is intimately linked to that of the region and its wine.
The vineyard is planted with two grape varieties: Semillon (80% of the surface) which brings fatness, roundness and ample structure to the wine and Sauvignon Blanc (20% of the surface) cultivated for its aromatic side and its great freshness.
In Fargues, quantity is not the goal. It is indeed the quality, vineyard of Fargues seeks to capture and bottle the aromatic explosion all that makes its wine.

Deep, bright golden colour. Very complex nose of citrus, spice, mint, and hazelnut. This wine is rich and soft on the palate, with a great deal of vinosity. It has a very long aftertaste of honey and candied citrus peel. A really outstanding vintage with great ageing potential.
