Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a 36-hectare wine estate in the heart of the Sauternes region, high above the village of Bommes. Owned by Swiss businessman Silvio Denz, who also owns Château Faugères in Saint-Émilion, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey produces great classic Sauternes from very rich harvests, selecting the first wine with great care. Now recognized for its consistent quality, and a neighbor of Sigalas-Rabaud, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey enjoys a reputation and is distinguished by a great richness due to its terroir. The grapes are naturally harvested in successive batches; pressing is carried out on old vertical presses, and the wine is aged for thirty months in barrels (in batches corresponding to the harvest dates), one third of which is new wood.
