CHATEAU DE FARGUES
AN EXCEPTIONAL WINE
The Château de Fargues produces a very appreciated Sauternes. The magic of this appellation lies in the observation of Botrytis Cinerea, a microscopic fungus better known as “noble rot”.
When it appears in autumn, the juice in the grape is transformed, it loses its volume to acquire flavors of candied fruits and aromas of flowers.
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 exceptional aromatic palette of its wine.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The know-how of the “Lur Saluces”, their secular experience, their absolute requirement make the Château de Fargues an exceptional wine.
This unconditional search for excellence finds its illustration in the very old family motto: “Noch” – “Encore” which means “always further in the search for quality, elegance, refinement, without any compromise”, such is the current philosophy at Château de Fargues.
All efforts are aimed at the single label, the single wine, which has made the reputation of the estate.
The property does not want to present any imperfect vintage which implies not to sign the wine of the vintages in 1972, 1974, 1992 and 2012.
