CLOS HAUT-PEYRAGUEY
Lulled by the sun and nourished by the fogs of the Ciron, the Clos Haut-Peyraguey vineyard is the smallest of the Premiers Grands Crus Classés of Sauternes in 1855. Nestling on the highest point of the plateau of the commune of Bommes in the Sauternes region, it faces Château D'Yquem. This former barony, acquired in the 18th century by the President of the Bordeaux Parliament, Monsieur de Pichard, benefits from an ancestral know-how. For the record, the estate, which was called Château Peyraguey when it was classified in 1855, has been split in two. This was in 1979. The higher ground at the top of the Bommes hill was named Clos Haut-Peyraguey. The Garbay-Pauly family owned the estate from 1914 until the acquisition at the end of 2012 of this Premier Grand Cru Classé by Bernard Magrez. In the winery, after a slow and progressive pressing, the fermentations and maturations take place in new or old oak barrels. Bottling at the château takes place 22 months after the harvest.
