18 Rene Gabriel
Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Geniales Bouquet, das Nasenbild weist eine rahmige Fülle auf, herrliche viel dunkle Waldbeeren und auch eine ganz verführerische Cassisnote ist da mit drin. Im Gaumen ist dieser sehr elegante Wein voller Charme und gebündelter Textur. Und so genial klingt er auch aus. Es ist/wäre also möglich sehr aromatische Weine zu produzieren, ohne dass gleich die Tannine den Hauptteil des Weines darstellen. Damit meine ich ein paar extrahierte Nachbarn. Wer diesen Wein kauft, wird in etwa acht Jahren ausflippen.

The 2014 Faugeres still has bundles of red plum and juniper berry on the nose, if anything even more generous than when I tasted it a few months ago. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, superb structure and well judged acidity. It merges with more black fruit towards the finish and has palpable energy on the finish—still excellent.<br/><br/>
90 Wine Spectator
Sports a lively core of bramble, blackberry and black currant, with good licorice and fruitcake notes filling in behind. Presents some slightly rambunctious energy but should settle in soon enough. Best from 2018 through 2028. 6,665 cases made.
Producer
Château Faugères
The Grand Cru Classé estate, Château Faugères is now producing exemplary nouvelle vague Saint-Émilion wines. While the property has a long history, dating back to the early 19th century, the estate remained somewhat unknown until the turn of the century. With the advice of Stéphan von Neipperg, Silvio Denz a perfume designer and wine-enthusiast bought the château from a direct descendant of the founding family, Gorinne Guisez in 2005. Due to a culmination of Denz’s leadership and major investments that were made in both the vineyard and cellars, the wines have been increasingly impressive. Michel Rolland acts as consulting enologist, producing wines that reflect the very unique aspects of their 37-hectare terroir. Ranking amongst the very best, the château crafts a super-rich cuvée called Péby Faugères only in the finest years, along with their dense Grand Vin Faugères, a second wine labeled Haut Faugères, and a forward Côtes de Castillon production, Cap de Faugères.
