Description

Peyraguey, whose name means hill, is an ancient barony acquired in the eighteenth century. In 1879 the domain was divided into two parts. One part was baptized Lafaurie-Peyraguey in homage to Monsieur Lafaurie, former owner, who gave prestige to the domain. The higher lands, on top of the hill Bommes, are called Clos Haut-Peyraguey. The meticulous care offered to the vineyard (16 hectares of Sauternes) allow, even in difficult times, where quality has to be extremely precise, to produce a Clos Haut-Peyraguey that deserves its name followed by the words "cru classé in 1855". The property belongs since 2012 to Bernard Magrez

The vineyard of Clos Haut-Peyraguey, nestled at the highest point of the plateau of Bommes in Sauternes is at the heart of the Premiers Grands Crus in 1855. It sits opposite the Chateau d'Yquem, and its immediate neighbors are called Rayne- Vigneau, Sigalas-Rabaud, Lafaurie-Peyraguey, Castle, Guiraud and La Tour Blanche!
This ancient barony acquired in the eighteenth century by Monsieur Pichard - then President of the Parliament of Bordeaux - has enjoyed through the decades a unique terroir and climatic conditions combined with an ancestral know-how enabling it to make its grapes play, a symphony excellence.
When classified in 1855, the area was called Château Peyraguey. In 1879 the Estate was split in two. One part was called Lafaurie-Peyraguey as a tribute to Mr. Lafaurie (former owner) who gave the Château its fame and the highest land on top of Bommes hill, was named Clos Haut-Peyraguey.
It is in 2012 that Bernard Magrez acquired Clos Haut-Peyraguey to the Pauly family who ran the property since 1914.
