Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is a winery located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. With a history dating back to the 13th century, this château originally served as a fortress and became a winery after the French Revolution under the leadership of Pierre Lafaurie.
Their wines earned a reputation for excellence, confirmed in 1855 when Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey was awarded the status of Premier Cru Classé. The vineyards span 18 hectares, situated on the third terrace of the Sauternes appellation, at an elevation of over 70 meters.
The diversity of soils, predominantly composed of gravel and clay, contributes to the exceptional aromatic complexity of their wines.
