Marks and reviews

/100

Decanter

Ripe black fruit with liquorice, tobacco and cedar aromas. Sleek and polished, this has both a brightness and subtle power to it. Oak is on show as expected, giving a slightly toasted edge to the pure berry fruit but the tannins are beautifully positioned and integrated. High acidity carries to the long finish. A little firm and tight still, but really well made with poise and finesse. Polished! Yield of 33hl/ha. Ageing 20% stainless steel, 80% in barrels.

Licorice, cocoa, black cherries, and espresso create the aromatic profile. The palate is even better, with lush, creamy, silky dark fruits, polished, plush tannins, and a chocolatey, black cherry, espresso bean-packed finish. Drink from 2028-2045. 92-94 Pts

Jane Anson

Estate signature, showing inky depths and character: damson, blueberry, espresso. A good-quality wine with character and impact. Real ageing potential. Harvest September 3 to 19. 80% in oak, of which 1/3 is new. 33 hl/ha yield. Owner: Silvio Denz.

Yves Beck

The bouquet of Faugères unfolds gradually, first revealing floral nuances before giving way to chalky notes, then aromas of black berries and, finally, a touch of oak ageing. Subtly suave on the attack, the wine develops in a linear fashion, showcasing powerful yet perfectly integrated tannins that are, moreover, in harmony with the energising character of the acidity. This Faugères combines charm, vigour and elegance. It is savoury and persistent, will benefit from time in the cellar, and can also be enjoyed in its youth.

Vinum

On the nose, blackcurrant fruit, floral notes, ripe cherries and lemon balm; an approachable palate with a slightly creamy texture, tightening through the mid-palate into a more vertical profile, with a delicate core of fruit; fine tannins, pronounced acidity, very good harmony and a fresh, long finish marked by sour cherry. A delightfully nuanced Faugères that will charm early yet has the capacity to age.

Tasting Notes

Appearance
This wine boasts a brilliant color with cherry hues, revealing a beautiful, luminous depth.

Nose
The aromatic bouquet expresses itself with great intensity on fruit, dominated by blackberry. It is enriched with subtle notes of gray pepper and delicate touches of summer flowers.

Palate
The wine reveals a concentrated, dense character, perfectly structured by a delicate acidity and chalky tannins of great finesse. The palate unfolds with delicious notes of blackberry and pomegranate juice, evolving toward a spicy profile. The finish lingers, underscored by light touches of bitterness.

Food and Wine Pairing
This great wine will pair wonderfully with slow-simmered red meats, game stews, or dishes featuring mushrooms. It also pairs very well with blue cheeses or moderately spicy dishes.

Serving and Aging

The Elegance and Richness of a Great Saint-Émilion Terroir

The Estate
Founded in 1823 by the Esquissaud family and located in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, in the renowned Bordeaux region, Château Faugères had several owners before being acquired in 2005 by Silvio Denz. He left his mark on the estate by modernizing the facilities while respecting its heritage. Now recognized as a Grand Cru Classé, the estate combines tradition and innovation, notably through its contemporary cellar and strong environmental commitment, showcasing the excellence of its terroir.

The Vineyard
Spanning 39.54 hectares, the vineyard sits on magnificent clay-limestone terroirs located on the gentle slopes of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The vines reach their peak on a plateau offering ideal conditions for berry ripening.

The Vintage
The year was marked by dry and moderate climatic conditions. These favorable weather elements allowed for optimal photosynthesis throughout the growing cycle, with no resurgence of vine growth before harvest. The harvest took place under the best conditions, beginning on September 3rd for the Merlot and ending on September 19th for the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vinification and Aging
Fermentation for 25 to 28 days in stainless steel tanks. Aging then continues with 20% of the volume kept in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 80% ages in barrels. These barrels are divided equally between one-third new oak, one-third once-used barrels, and one-third twice-used barrels. Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape Varieties
70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
