Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey is the epitome of special occasion indulgence: the lavish dining room is adorned with a Lalique (surprise, surprise!) crystal chandelier and the glazed extension commands a sweeping view over the vineyards. Chef Jérôme Schilling, MOF 2023, who boasts an enviable CV, describes himself as a "cook of the vineyards”. His dishes inspired by the Sauternes terroir bear names such as "Interpretation of the 2015 vintage" (colourful tomatoes, vanilla and stracciatella) or “Sarments of vines” (smoked blue lobster, verbena and kombu seaweed). This virtuoso score is served in Lalique crystalware and fine china tableware, taking table arts to a whole new level. Timeless and luxurious with stylish, razor-sharp cuisine, which aims to exalt the distinctive flavour profile of Sauternes that, needless to say, enjoys pride of place on the extensive wine list.
