Château de Fargues is one of the oldest and most noble estates in the Sauternes region, with a history dating back to the 13th century. However, its true rise began in the 18th century, when the Lur-Saluces family, through marriage, took control of both Château d’Yquem and Château de Fargues, becoming inseparable from the identity and prestige of Sauternes.
It was this family that established the legendary practice of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) — an extremely selective, entirely hand-harvested process that allows the creation of sweet wines with extraordinary aromatic complexity, concentration, and vibrant acidity. This approach later became the quality benchmark for the entire region.
For more than three decades, Alexandre de Lur-Saluces, long-time head of Château d’Yquem, strengthened the family’s global reputation. After the sale of Yquem to the LVMH Group, the family retained Château de Fargues, which today is led by Philippe de Lur-Saluces, the sixteenth generation of the family.
The philosophy of Château de Fargues remains unchanged:
Today, Château de Fargues produces some of the most elegant Sauternes wines, known for their purity, vibrant acidity, and exceptional aging potential. These wines prove that Sauternes is not merely a dessert wine style, but a complex, gastronomic expression, capable of pairing beautifully with seafood, savory dishes, and refined cuisine.
