The Estate / Distillery

Château de Fargues is a historic wine estate located in the prestigious Sauternes appellation, celebrated for its exceptional sweet white wines. Owned by the Lur-Saluces family since 1472, it stands as a remarkable example of continuity and longevity in the wine industry, with the family's deep-rooted connection to the region's winemaking heritage.

The estate’s prime location on a hillside overlooking the Ciron River creates ideal conditions for noble rot, which is crucial for producing high-quality Sauternes. This unique terroir contributes to the estate's reputation for rich, complex wines with excellent ageing potential.

Today, Château de Fargues is run by Philippe de Lur-Saluces, representing the sixteenth generation of the family. Under his stewardship, the estate continues to uphold its esteemed reputation, reflecting both the enduring legacy of the Lur-Saluces family and their commitment to exceptional winemaking.
