Description
Château de Fargues is a very old winery located in the prestigious "Sauternes" appellation known for its unique sweet white wine.
This estate has belonged to the Lur Saluces family 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.
In the 1920s, Bertrand de Lur Saluces, uncle of Alexandre, current owner of Château de Fargues, made the decision to abandon the production of red vines to devote himself exclusively to the elaboration of a great Sauternes wine. He undertook a slow and expensive work to completely replant the plot of Fargues with the grape varieties of the appellation, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
Even today the same desire for quality and rigor, the same ethics are perpetuated.
The wine of Fargues embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and the sense of risk and creativity of the Lur Saluces.
The vineyard is planted with two grape varieties: Semillon (80% of the surface) which brings fat, roundness and ample structure to the wine and Sauvignon Blanc (20% of the surface) cultivated for its aromatic side and its great freshness.
