Château de Fargues 1986 Sauternes, Cru Bourgeois Lot 6732: u. 2bn, 2vts, 6ts, 2t/hs, in original tissues and straw wrapped, 3 labels slightly soiled, 1 capsule slightly corroded, Lot 6733: u. 2bn, 5vts, 5ts, in original tissues and straw wrapped, 3 labels slightly soiled, 1 capsule slightly damaged on top Owner Comte Alexandre de Lur-Saluces sees to it that the Cru Bourgeois status of Fargues is something of a farce. For sheer beauty and breed in a Sauternes, Fargues is hard to beat. A very high proportion of Sémillon, immensely careful selection, fermentation and maturation in new oak casks - this is the Yquem recipe and it produces a stunning wine. It is not as luscious or 'heavy' as Yquem but displays heavenly finesse. I never miss a chance to drink this wine and the 1986 is exemplary Fargues.
