Sattes Purpur, rubiner Schimmer aussen. Es ist schier unfassbar, wie viel Harmonie er schon im ersten Ansatz aufgezeigt. Die Frucht ist reif, dunkelbeerig und vermittelt Waldbeeren und Brombeeren. Diese werden ergänzt durch und feine Teeund frische Kräuternoten. Die Nasensüsse ist jetzt schon berauschend. Der Gaumen ist sehr stoffig, gar fleischig und zeigt eine massive Konzentration an. Deshalb ist der Zungenfluss noch etwas aufrauend und verbindet sich mit der massiven Adstringenz. Das Finale zeigt Kokosnuancen und Vanillespuren. Dies ist ein Langstreckenläufer welcher in der Jugend wohl immer etwas verschlossen bleiben wird. Einer der seriösesten Péby welche ich je im Gaumen hatte. Für einmal etwas mehr Saint Emilion wie mondäner Merlot. 19/20 warten

The 2016 Peby Faugeres (100% Merlot aged for 18 months in 65% new French oak barriques) has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. Wow—it slides sensuously out of the glass with scents of candied violets, Chinese five spice and chocolate box over a core of baked plums, black cherry compote and warm black raspberries plus wafts of new leather and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is decadently spicy, with bags of black fruit preserves framed by plush tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift.

Vivid, with racy acidity from the start that allows the copious raspberry and plum confiture flavors to pump along with energy. Very enticing spice treatment on the finish. Has a lavish edge, but its energy offsets that nicely.—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.
