Clos Haut-Peyraguey

Sauternes & Barsac

BERNARD MAGREZ

Peyraguey, whose name means a hill or promontory, is an ancient barony acquired during the 18th century by the President of the Bordeaux Parliament who was beheaded during the French Revolution.

A STORY

In a few words

The estate was then acquired by Monsieur Lafaurie, followed by Monsieur Saint Rieul Dupouy, and later Count Duchatel in 1864. Following the death of Count Duchatel in 1879, the estate was divided into two parts and Clos Haut-Peyraguey was established. Clos Haut-Peyraguey is the smallest of the Sauternes first growths and the highest part of the vineyard, Haut-Bommes, has an outstanding terroir. The estate was then acquired by Parisian pharmacist Monsieur Grillon and handed over to the Pauly family in 1914. In late 2012, Bernard Magrez acquired this Sauternes Premier Grand Cru Classé and thus became the only estate owner of four great growths in Bordeaux.
