Faugeres
Château Faugères attained Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé status in 2012. The wine is a blend of typically 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is produced with the help and advice of the revered Stephan von Neipperg and Michel Rolland.
The estate is currently owned by Silvio Denz, a perfume designer and owner of several wineries. The vines sit atop a limestone plateau, on south-to-southeast facing slopes farmed using natural sustainable viticultural practices.

Vinous - Neal Martin (87-89)The 2020 Cap de Faugères is a bit jammy on the nose, though the black cherry and blueberry fruit is pure, becoming a little confit in style. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins and good acidity, though it needs a little more cohesion toward the finish. Hopefully it will gain harmony and flesh during its barrel maturation, because it does offer a pleasant salinity. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (86-88)Good bright ruby. Pure, lively aromas of black cherry, licorice and mint. Round and pliant in the mouth, with moderately concentrated dark berry and licorice flavors. Finishes with even, palate-dusting tannins. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2016 Faugères was already showing extremely well a year ago, but now it seems to be showing what it can really do! It has a more classically trained bouquet featuring reserved blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, plus veins of undergrowth, autumn leaves and morels. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Supremely well focused, conveying impressive tension and energy on the finish. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)The 2018 Faugères is fabulous. Silky and nuanced, the 2018 is striking right out of the gate. As I noted previously, the 2018 marks a transition to a more finessed style that is hugely appealing. There is plenty of the richness Faugères fans expect, but, at the same time, the wine is so well balanced and harmonious. Hints of rose petal, lavender, spice and dark fruits linger on the memorable close. The 2018 is an undeniably sexy wine. |
