Château
Lafaurie-Peyraguey

Sauternes & Barsac

Premier Grand Cru Classé en 1855

Silvio Denz

Located in the middle of the finest terroir in the Sauternes appellation, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey’s vines grow on a gravel terrace 70 metres above sea level.

The L’Enclos and Maisons Rouges plots represent the historic heart of the estate, with gravel soil from the Quaternary Period deposited over 600,000 years ago, as well as a substratum of Aquitaine limestone.

The winemaking facilities feature modern equipment to meet all legal and environmental standards, as well as air-conditioned ageing cellars with controlled humidity.

Owner Silvio Denz combines his passion for both winemaking and luxury goods at Lafaurie-Peyraguey. In keeping with creations by René Lalique, he designed an outstanding bottle based on an engraving entitled “Woman and Grapes” (dating from 28 September 1928) made on the woodwork of sleeping cars on the Côte d’Azur Pullman Express, which first saw service in 1929.

This engraving is to be found on bottles Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey starting with the 2013 vintage.
