Winery Château de Fargues

The estate has been part of the local history for centuries and is linked to the de Lur Saluces family; according to the official website the property entered the family in the 15th century and the first vintage bottled under the Château de Fargues label dates from the 20th century. Over the course of the 20th century the family gradually developed Sauternes viticulture on the estate’s lower-lying land and, after Alexandre de Lur Saluces’ tenure, management continued with a renovation of the vineyard and facilities.

Production focused on quality and selection: late harvests carried out to pick grapes affected by "pourriture noble", careful vinification in oak and low yields to enhance concentration and longevity. The winery favors a traditional approach aimed at showcasing the terroir and the expressiveness of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Located in the Sauternes appellation, in the Gironde department, the estate is set on a rise that benefits from a microclimate conducive to the development of 'pourriture noble' thanks to its proximity to watercourses and the Landes forest.
