Château de Fargues
Sauternes & Barsac
MARQUIS DE LUR SALUCES
Located in the prestigious Sauternes appellation, Château de Fargues has belonged to the Lur Saluces family since 1472, and serves as a unique example of a single family’s long, unbroken ownership.
A STORY
In few words
The family’s history is intrinsically linked to the region and its wine.
The first Fargues vintage dates back to 1943, which explains why it was not listed in the official 1855 Bordeaux wine classification. Consequently, Fargues is a fine wine that is unclassifiable.
In just over 80 years, Château de Fargues has established a reputation as one of the most successful wines in the appellation.
The grapes are harvested meticulously in several passes and ageing takes place in barrels for thirty months to produce a wine of rare complexity, with remarkably long ageing potential, which stands among the family’s greatest wines.
Quality always prevails, and every effort is made to capture the tremendous aromatics of Lur Saluces wines and put them into bottle.
