CHATEAU DE FARGUES 2015
Sauternes
96-98/100 Wine Advocate – Neil Martin – 28 Avril 2016
The 2015 Chateau de Fargues delivers 153 grams per liter of residual sugar at 13.8% alcohol. It has a complex
bouquet with honey, marmalade and quince aromas that are beautifully defined, but will clearly take a
few years to reach their full potential. The palate is very sensual on the entry, honeyed and lavish at the beginning,
but retaining wonderful precision and persistence on the lightly spiced finish. This is a seriously
good de Fargues that should age effortlessly over the next 30-40 years. As usual, this is one for the serious
Sauternes-lovers who know that good things come to those that wait.
96-99/100 Winespectator —James.Molesworth - 4 Avril 2016
A stunner, with seamlessly layered pineapple, pear, mango, papaya, quince and persimmon flavors, framed
by a hint of toasted macadamia nut and carrying through a lush yet well-defined finish. Showing power and
grace, this is a full stride ahead of the field.
94-96/100 Michael Schuster – The World of Fine Wine – 2016
Mid-to deep gold; dense and mineral and citrus zest; rich and lively, a finely chiselled constitution; intensely
sweet, rich, very long to taste, particularly aromatic in flavour, energetic from its noble rot spice, very “racy”
to taste, dense, long, refined, and with great persistence. Beautifully poised and complete wine.
94/100 Decanter - Jane Anson – 19 Avril 2016
It’s been a few years now that Fargues has really stood out for its elegance and perfectly-pitched edgy acidity.
If Sauternes was a more popular appellation and wine style, this would have queues round the block. As it is,
for Sauternes lovers, it’s a steal. Lemon rind, orange blossom, soft white truffle, a twist of steel.
97-98/100 Michel Bettane / Thierry Dessauve – The World of Fine Wine – 2016
Sumptuous liqueur and a brilliant finale, Sauternes in all its splendour, with an aromatic harmony typical of
this vintage.
19,5/20 Revue des Vins de France - Roberto Petronio – Septembre 2018
Il s’exprime sur une note de pomme au four et de tarte à la mirabelle. Riche et complexe, il puise sa puissance
dans le sol du terroir de Fargues, qui lui donne une assise en bouche exceptionnelle.

16,5 – 17/20 Le Point - Olivier Dupont – 19 mai 2016
Menthe, fruits blancs, luzerne, bon équilibre, frais, pêche blanche, poire, bien persistant.
