The Sauternes Lur Saluces A.O.C. 2007 produced by Chateau de Fargues represents an extraordinary example of sweet wine, considered one of the jewels of the Bordeaux region, France. The 2007 vintage stands out for its complexity and finesse, resulting from a particularly favorable year that allowed for perfect ripening of the grapes and an optimal concentration of sugars.

The wine exhibits a deep golden, almost amber, color, which visually suggests the richness of the aromas. On the nose, the Sauternes Lur Saluces 2007 offers a rich and complex bouquet with hints of candied fruit, acacia honey, dried apricot, and delicate notes of sweet spices such as vanilla and cardamom. The distinctive aromaticity is enriched by nuances of beeswax and blonde wood, evidence of a light passage in barrique.

On the palate, the texture is luxurious and well-balanced. The sweetness is supported by a lively acidity that brings freshness to the palate, making the wine surprisingly agile despite its opulence. The finish is long and persistent, with echoes of the rich aromas perceived on the nose and a pleasant aftertaste that invites reflection.

This Sauternes pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses like Roquefort, or can be served as a contemplative end to a meal. It is also an excellent conversation partner for sweet dishes, especially those based on fruit or creams.

The Sauternes Lur Saluces 2007 from Chateau de Fargues is therefore a wine of great elegance and complexity, promising to evolve beautifully for many more years, provided it is stored in suitable conditions.

Château de Fargues – Winery in Sauternes (Bordeaux)

Discover the story and wines of Château de Fargues.

Historic estate in the Sauternais (Bordeaux), known for a Sauternes produced exclusively as a sweet wine from botrytized grapes; owned by the de Lur Saluces family with a long historical continuity.
Region: Sauternes (Bordeaux)
Country: France
Grapes: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc
Historic estate of the de Lur Saluces family. Single-wine production: Château de Fargues as a Sauternes without a 'second wine'. Vineyard in production covering approximately 25 hectares, with grapes predominantly Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Declared average production of around 15,000–20,000 bottles, with operational estimates of approximately 18,000 bottles in recent vintages. The winery is characterized by a strong focus on tradition, grape selection and aging in wooden barrels.
Winery history
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 philosophy
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.
Terroir and vineyards
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.
