Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey is a historic Sauternes estate situated on the Haut-Barsac plateau, immediately above Château d’Yquem in the commune of Bommes. The domaine has been run by Luc and Sandrine Servant since 1995, farming just over 7 hectares of vines planted mainly to Sémillon, with small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Viticulture is certified organic and practised biodynamically, with a focus on soil vitality, low yields, and multiple passes through the vineyard to pick only fully botrytised berries. The cellar work is slow and deliberate, with spontaneous fermentations, long ageing in oak, minimal sulphur, and no fining or filtration. Each cuvée represents a precise selection from the harvest, reflecting both the vintage character and the evolution of the botrytis on the vine.
Crème de Tête 2005 is produced from the final, most concentrated selections of botrytised Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, harvested late in the season from old vines on clay-limestone soils. Fermentation occurs spontaneously and the wine ages for 15 years in barriques before bottling. The result is an extraordinarily deep and complex Sauternes, combining intensity of fruit with long, saline persistence and remarkable energy for its age.
