Description

Chateau de Fargues Sauternes 2002While Chteau dYquem was sold to LVMH in the late 1990s, Chteau de Fargues remains under the control of the Lur Saluces family, with Alexandres friendly and highly capable son Philippe at the helm today. Their lone wine is produced from 80% Smillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested with meticulous care to only include pristinely botrytized fruit, with yields averaging less than a glass of wine per vine. It is aged for two full years in one third new

juicy and beautifully balanced

from co-planted vines averaging 80 years old

The result is a wine of ferocious tannin in its youth

this offers pretty notes of white flowers atop ample but refined fruit and an underlying impression of gunflint

A wine made only in the finest vintages and composed of Pinot Noir harvested from the oldest vines (average age of 50 years) of the domaine

” from plantings in the Les Noyerots and Les Rumigny vineyards

and the finished wine displays bristling minerality unaccented by oxidative elements

oak of one year (40%) and oak of two years (20%)

the wine will offer amazing depth and freshness

Foreau NEVER chapitalizes to achieve the Demi-Sec level and malo-lactic fermentations are never permitted to occur

this is a generous

This premier cru is located just beneath Mazis Chambertin in the southern tier of Gevrey
