Description

Premier Cru Classé Sauternes Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey winery releases the Lafaurie-Peyraguey Grand Vin Sec Bordeaux Blanc. This exceptionally beautiful white wine is the dry equivalent of Sauternes. Lafaurie-Peyraguey used to make a dry white wine and the winery has been doing so again for several years. Vines are used for this wine that are not used for Sauternes: they are old vines that are very suitable for dry vinification. The blend consists of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Sémillon. This dry white wine is made in the style of the better white wines from Pessac-Léognan and can also compete with that level of quality. Think of exotic fruit, creamy notes of wood aging and a constantly exciting freshness. This bottle is also decorated with an engraving by René Lalique.

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a very old wine producer with an estate of 36 hectares. It is located in the heart of the Sauternes region just outside the village of Bommes. Maisons Rouges (part of Lafaurie-Peyraguey) was a Roman staging post and the oldest stonework of the perimeter wall and entrance, believed to be the oldest structure in the commune of Bommes, dating from the 13th century. The archival materials kept at the castle testify to the rich heritage of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, preserved for eight centuries of history! Wine has been made on this estate since 1618.
