Excursion Château lafaurie peyraguey, a lalique experience in the hearth of the sauternes region tour at Bordeaux

Leave for the approximately 1 hour scenic drive from through the worldwide-known Sauternes region.

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

Arrive at Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, a first Classified growth of Sauternes, for a visit followed by a tasting of 3 wines of the estate. Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is located in the highest part of the village of Bommes with the famous Château Yquem as its neighbor. Its 37.5 hectares of vineyards stand on the third terrace of the Sauternes appellation, over 70 metres above sea level and the mosaic of terroirs that spread across the four villages of Bommes, Sauternes, Fargues and Preignac give the wines of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey their typical, long-reputed style.

During this visit, you will discover the history of Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, the territory of Sauternes, its viticulture and the secret of its sweet wines.

Lalique Art Experience

2018 marked the opening of the new Lalique hotel and restaurant at Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey

You will be explained the special link that unites their wines to the art of Lalique and discover the jewels of this property like their cellar and the stunning Chapel, entirely decorated by Lalique. The name Lalique evokes the brilliance of jewellery, the wonder of transparency, and the brilliance of crystal. Before it became a brand name, it was the name of a man, an artist of genius, rené-jules lalique and of his heirs who shared his creative flame.

Sauterne Wine Tasting

After the visit, you will taste three wines of the Château in the Vinothèque or in the Chapel, nestled between the two historic wine cellars. Return to your ship in Bordeaux after having delighted your palate and discovered Sauternes otherwise.
