Less powerful and rich than normal, the 1979 de Fargues is light golden, with a toasty, lemony, fruity, oaky bouquet, medium to full body, some botrytis, good acidity, and a clean, spicy, rich, alcoholic finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/86.

About the producer

de Fargues
Owned by the Lur-Saluces family (which also previously owned Ch. d’Yquem) since 1472, Ch. de Fargues benefited from similar care and attention. The resulting wines are impressive and – unlike most in the region which are now offered en primeur – only released three years after the vintage.
