Offers intense fruit, with plum, currant and raspberry flavors laced with mouthwatering anise and singed iron notes. Very rich, yet has cut and a lovely licorice snap edge that keeps the fruit pumping along.—J.M.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Geniales Brombeer- und Cassisbouquet, ausladend, reife Frucht zeigend und mit schwarzer Schokolade unterlegt. Aromatischer Gaumen, sattes Extrakt, von der Frucht her praktisch nur schwarzbeerig, im Finale mit herrlichem Bountytouch. Drei Mal verkostet. Für mich ist das der beste Faugères den ich als Primeur im Glas hatte. Wow! 90'000 Flaschen auf diesem Niveau herzustellen ist schon eine besondere Leistung. 18/20 2023 – 2039

The 2015 Faugeres is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 15 months in French oak, 50% new. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has a nose of baked plums, warm cherries and black berries with touches of meat and fried spices. The full-bodied mouth is rich, opulent and spicy with firm, velvety tannins and lovely freshness lifting the finish.
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.
