Expert Reviews

Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 de Fargues has a broody nose, piqued at being broached too young (at least for Château de Fargues). The palate is rounded on the entry with orange zest and marmalade notes, very good weight but it feels a little muted towards the finish at the moment. That is typical de Fargues - cellar this for another ten years because all the component parts are here. Tasted April 2016. - The Wine Advocate

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Château de Fargues is an ancient Château within the legendary region of Sauternes in Bordeaux's south. A delicate, yet unctuous dessert wine, Château de Fargues is a winery that uses minimal intervention to produce their wine of great concentration. The 2006 Sauternes is one of richness and opulence. Characters of dense honey, toffee and oak are prevalent yet retaining the trademark line of acid to bring it all together. Considered a heady, rich style, this Sauternes should be regarded as a wine for early drinking.

Winery Profile

An atypical estate as well as an atypical wine, Chateau de Fargues - a Lur Saluces property - bears majestic witness to the past. This historical perspective enables the chateau to cultivate a fine reputation among a small, but devoted circle of connoisseurs, and rise above the turmoil of the present or the influence of short-lived trends. Chateau de Fargues has the necessary grandeur to focus on its quest for perfection and intimacy.

The constant desire to maintain a balance between expertise passed down from generation to generation and carefully tested modern techniques makes this golden wine a "blue note" among the great Sauternes estates.

An impressive number of recent vintages - 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (with lovely, lively acidity), the sumptuous 2001, the fresh 2002, the excellent 2003, and the brand new 2004 (recognised as one of the best Sauternes of the vintage) - demonstrate, and will continue to demonstrate for some time, Chateau de Fargues' exquisite quality.

Cellar Condition

Provenance; “Place of origin; derivation”

  • The history of the ownership of an object, especially when documented or authenticated. Used for Artworks, Antiques, and Wine.
  • The records or documents authenticating such an object or the history of its ownership.

Whenever you buy wine there is an inherent risk, as wine is a perishable good regardless of whether it is sealed under cork or screwcap. At GraysOnline we minimise the risk to you by providing as much information as possible regarding the provenance of the wine we sell.

We take the time to individually inspect each bottle and photograph it so you know exactly what you are buying. All Private Cellar wine stored at GraysOnline is kept in a temperature controlled wine storage area. Any wine that doesn’t meet our quality standards will not be sold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 5 star designation are recognised as being of proven quality provenance, our team has verified that the wine has been stored correctly from original purchase straight from the winery, documentation, where possible, has been sighted and cellaring conditions have been inspected. This wine generally comes from only the best and most respected of wine collectors in Australia.

★ ★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 4 star designation have been cellared correctly as verified by the current owners. In general these wines have been purchased from retailers or traders and stored in cellared conditions from original purchase.

★ ★ ★

Wines displaying a 3 star designation are in good condition when we inspect and we are able to confirm some cellaring conditions but we are unable to verify all ownership and storage conditions of their history.

A wine displaying no stars doesn’t mean that there is a problem with the wine, it simply means that we have been unable to verify provenance, however a quality image is always available for the purchaser to make their own purchasing decisions.

Private Cellar wine is wine which has been stored for aging purposes in a Private Cellar.

Storing the wine and allowing it to age has the potential to improve the quality of the wine. While wine is perishable and capable of deteriorating, storing the wine can alter the aroma, colour, mouthfeel and taste of the wine in a way that may be more pleasing to the taster.
