Description

Chateau de Fargues Sauternes 2007While Chteau dYquem was sold to LVMH in the late 1990s, Chteau de Fargues remains under the control of the Lur Saluces family, with Alexandres friendly and highly capable son Philippe at the helm today. Their lone wine is produced from 80% Smillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested with meticulous care to only include pristinely botrytized fruit, with yields averaging less than a glass of wine per vine. It is aged for two full years in one third new

juicy and beautifully balanced

Kaleidoscopic in its aromas of tobacco

Even the discourse that surrounds them tends to treat them more as wines of technique than wines of terroir

amounting to a final blend of 95% Sangiovese with 5% Ciliegiolo & Canaiolo

The grapes are entirely destemmed

a reason for the prolonged aging in large wooden barrels for over 4 years

No de-stemming is done here

Made from her best and oldest parcels only in the best vintages

000 per hectare

with an average vine age of 40 years

with true Mediterranean character

With a soaring nose of juicy blackberries and spices
