Produced from 100% Merlot and matured for 18 months in 65% new and 35% one-year-old French oak barrels, the 2015 Peby Faugeres is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a strikingly gorgeous nose of exotic spices, baked blackberries, plum preserves, cherry cordial and fragrant earth with smoked meats, lavender, licorice and tapenade hints. The boldly fruited, full-bodied palate features opulent, totally decadent spiced black and blue fruits with a very firm yet ripe structure and finishes with incredible depth and length. Stefan von Neipperg consults on the vineyard management here, while Michel Rolland focuses on harvest dates, winemaking, aging and the final blend - a big "bravo" to them both on this 2015!

100 % Merlot. Undurchdringliche Farbe Violett-Schwarz. Delikat und wuchtig zugleich, hoch reife Fruchtkomponenten zeigend, von Cassis über Waldbeeren bis hin zu einem süsslichen Grenadinetouch. Im zweiten Ansatz; wunderschöne Kräuternoten und konfierte Früchte, vermischt mit einem Hauch Jasminduft. Im Gaumen Power und Finesse in einem, das Extrakt wirkt dropsig und parfümiert, alles ist wie ein frisch gehackter Beerencocktail auf der satten, stoffigen Zunge. Ein sehr präziser Péby mit einem beachtlichen Potential. 19/20 2025 – 2054

Alluring, with steeped plum and boysenberry confiture notes that are rich and lush in feel, yet stay bright through the finish, presenting a light brambly underpinning and suave spice and toast details. Gorgeous fruit.—J.M.

Château Péby Faugères
One of the quirkiest properties in Bordeaux whose winery is reminiscent of those in Napa or Chile. It was designed by Mario Botta, a Swiss architect from Mendrisio, and features what appears to be a wine or martini-glass cut out of the side. It is called the “Cathedral of Wine”. The property lies on the eastern edge of the Saint-Émilion appellation and was inherited in 1987 by Pierre-Bernard (“Péby”) Guisez, a well-known film director. He and his wife, Corinne made it a mission to turn the estate around and invested heavily. He died suddenly 10 years later and his wife, not wanting to continue with the work herself and knowing that her daughters did not want to follow suit, eventually sold it to Silvio Denz, a Swiss businessman. Following the sale of Château de Faugères, Silvio decided to separate the two top wines it made - Faugères and Péby Faugères - into two distinct properties. Péby Faugères was created by Corinne in honour of her late husband and is 100% Merlot from what is considered their best parcel.
