Description
Peyraguey, whose name means hill, is an ancient barony acquired in the 18th century. In 1879, the domain was divided into two parts. One part was christened Lafaurie-Peyraguey in homage to Monsieur Lafaurie, the former owner, who brought prestige to the domain. The higher lands, at the top of the Bommes hill, are called Clos Haut-Peyraguey. The meticulous care given to the vineyard (16 hectares of Sauternes) makes it possible, even in difficult times when quality must be extremely precise, to produce a Clos Haut-Peyraguey that deserves its name followed by the mention 'cru classé in 1855'. The property has belonged to Bernard Magrez since 2012
