Chateau Clos Haut Peyraguey 4 Items

The vineyard of Clos Haut-Peyraguey, nestled at the highest point of the plateau of Bommes in Sauternes region is at the heart of the Premiers Crus Classés in 1855. It sits opposite to the Chateau d'Yquem, and its immediate neighbors are called Rayne-Vigneau or Chateau Guiraud. This ancient barony has survived the centuries since its first harvest in 1618, enjoying a unique terroir and climatic conditions combined with an ancestral know-how enabling it to make its grapes play a symphony of excellence giving a unique and prestigious golden wine : the Sauternes of Clos Haut-Peyraguey. When classified in 1855, the estate was called Chateau Peyraguey. In 1879 the estate is split in two. Part is called Lafaurie-Peyraguey in tribute to Mr. Lafaurie (former owner) who had given him fame. The highest land at the top of the Bommes hill will be named Clos Haut-Peyraguey.

It is in 2012 that Bernard Magrez acquires the Clos Haut-Peyraguey to the Pauly family who operated the property since 1914. In order to perpetuate the excellence of this Premier Grand Cru of Sauternes but also to give it an international influence, Bernard Magrez takes care to provide meticulous care to the vineyard as part of tradition but also innovation, to produce a unique wine: Clos haut-Peyraguey, the Sauternes des Inités.
