| Over het wijnhuis | Op een zonovergoten helling van de Dordogne-vallei ligt Château Faugères, een schitterend 18e eeuws klooster omgeven door 37 hectare wijngaard. Het was lange tijd in handen van filmregisseur Péby Guisez, die het domein op de kaart heeft gezet. In 2005 nam Silvio Denz de wijngaard in 2005 over en liet meteen een state-of-the-art wijnkelder van 3.550 vierkante meter bouwen. |

| Awards | "The 2016 Faugeres is composed of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 50% new and 50% one-year-old barrels for 15 months. Deep garnet-purple colored, it features baked blueberries, stewed black plums and black cherry compote with hints of spearmint, cigar box and new leather. The palate is medium to full-bodied and laced with black fruit and savory layers with a chewy frame, finishing long with a fragrant earth lift. 6,000 cases produced." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The nose is redolent with ripe plums and dark cherries, as well as abundant red and purple flowers and a faint, blonde-tobacco edge. The palate delivers an ultra-rich and flavorful palate with polished, sinewy tannins that will carry this wine for some time to come. Freshness and balance, finishing taut and youthful. Full of promise, this is one of the finest recent releases from here. Try from 2023." - James Suckling "Tasted blind. Very dark and lustrous. Interesting mineral notes on the nose. Warm and rich – extremely Merloty. Envelopes the taster. And has masses tucked away here for the future. Bit of a peacock’s tail." - Jancis Robinson "The 2016 Faugères has a concentrated bouquet of blueberry, sloes, fig and black olive compote under a slight haze of alcohol. The velvety-smooth palate is well balanced with supple tannin and a fine line of acidity. While not the most complex Saint-Émilion I have come across in 2016, it is undeniably seductive and ravishing on the finish. A buxom Saint-Émilion for those with a hedonistic bent." - Vinous "Shows a bit more lift than most of its peers, staying on the floral, elegant side of the ledger, with cassis and damson plum notes laced with bergamot and rose petal accents. Light incense and apple wood hints underscore the finish. Best from 2021 through 2032. 6,000 cases made." - Wine Spectator |
