Clos Haut-Peyraguey is the smallest estate of the Sauternes premier crus classés from the 1855 classiication. The vineyard spreads over 8,5 hectares, on a single parcel on the northeast hillside of the estate, are adjacent to Château Yquem parcels. Peyraguey means “hill” or “promontory”, and is an ancient Barony from the 18th century purchased by the Bordeaux Parliament President. Mister Lafaurie then bought the estate during the French Revolution. After the death of owner Count Duchatel in 1879, the property was split into two separate estates: the parcels located on the highest point of the Bommes hills were named Clos Haut-Peyraguey. The estate belonged to the Garbay-Pauly family from 1914 until 2012 when Bernard Magrez took over this Premier Grand Cru Classé.

Vineyard management is 100% sustainable, with mechanical ploughing, and grass covering on some parcels. Traditional manual practices include desuckering, tying up, and thinning out of the leaves. Winemaking is carried out after a temperature-controlled settling in tank. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels (new or one year old) and racking is conducted on a regular basis.
