CAP DE FAUGÈRES
Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux
In the heart of the great Sauternes terroirs, the Lafaurie-Peyraguey vineyard lies on Sauternes’ high gravel terrace, 70 m above sea level, next to Château d’Yquem.
The “L’Enclos” and “Les Maisons Rouges” plots represent the historic heart of Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY’s great terroir, consisting of gravel from the Quaternary period, deposited more than 600,000 years ago, on a substratum of Aquitania limestone.
A very old wine-producing property, with 18,5 hectares of vines, Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY is located in the heart of the Sauternes region, on high ground just outside the village of Bommes.
The vineyard includes the “Maisons Rouges” plot, which was a stopping place in Roman times. The oldest stones in the surrounding wall and the entrance, thought to be the oldest structure in the commune of Bommes, date from the 13th century. These stones and the château’s archives (going back to 1742) are evidence of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey’s rich past, representing eight centuries of history!
Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY is thus equipped with technical facilities that comply with new regulatory and environmental constraints, with air-conditioning and humidity-control throughout.
Superb reception facilities at Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY
To celebrate Château LAFAURIE-PEYRAGUEY’s 400th anniversary, a new Lalique hotel-restaurant opened its doors in June 2018. Here, Silvio Denz has orchestrated a convergence of the four worlds of wine, crystal, gastronomy and hospitality. Only a few months after opening, Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey – Hôtel & Restaurant Lalique joined the prestigious Relais & Châteaux family, becoming a 5-star establishment, and the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in its first year of operation. The Lalique Restaurant was awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide in March 2022.
Portrait of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey
The nose offers a bowl of orchard fruit with some exotic floral notes. On the palate, there are notes of apricot, and a very elegant, supple, full-bodied fruit texture. The finish is light, with notes of grapefruit. Overall, a superb balance between power and freshness.
