The 2003 Château de Fargues comes from the Sauternes region of Bordeaux and is one of the most prestigious producers of sweet wines. The winery is owned by the Lur Saluces family, who also managed Château d'Yquem for a long time. Château de Fargues is known for its meticulous winemaking and the production of high-quality, long-aging wines. The 2003 vintage was marked by an exceptional heatwave, which resulted in particularly ripe and concentrated grapes in the Sauternes region.

In the glass, the 2003 de Fargues presents a golden to amber hue that becomes even more intense with age. On the nose, a rich bouquet unfolds with aromas of candied fruits such as apricot and mango, accompanied by notes of honey, caramelized nuts, and vanilla. Hints of spices and floral notes such as acacia blossoms are also perceptible, giving the wine a complex and seductive aroma palette.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and opulent, with a silky texture and a dense, luscious sweetness. The acidity is well integrated and provides the necessary freshness to balance the intense sweetness. Aromas of honey, candied citrus fruits, exotic fruits, and subtle spices dominate the palate. The finish is long, complex, and characterized by a persistent elegance.

The 2003 Château de Fargues boasts impressive longevity and can easily age for several decades. Despite the wine's early accessibility, it will continue to gain complexity and depth over time.

This wine is ideal as an accompaniment to foie gras, blue cheese, or desserts based on tropical fruits and nuts. It is also an excellent meditation wine, perfect for enjoying neat in quiet moments.
