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 | "Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Faugères stampedes out of the glass with a herd of powerful black fruit notes: blackberry pie, baked black plums and ripe, juicy black cherries, plus hints of wild mushrooms, damp soil, tar and star anise with a waft of tobacco. The full-bodied palate is chock-full of black fruit preserves, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Red berries, plums and flowers with hints of orange peel. Full-bodied with rich fruit, light jam, creamy tannins and brightness at the end. Lightly salty. Vivid. 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. Better in a few years." - James Suckling "Deep purple. Intense nose of concentrated mulberry fruit that is evident on the palate. The fruit just about manages to mask the considerable tannin. Rather marked, slightly uncomfortable, acidity on the rather drying, sudden finish. Ambitious. Borderline exaggerated. But it should appeal to fans of late-20th-century St-Émilion." - Jancis Robinson "The 2020 Faugeres offers ripe black plum and boysenberry fruit on the nose, which is extravagant and verging on ostentatious, though somehow it maintains focus and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with red cherries, boysenberry, cola and light allspice notes on the entry. Well balanced with impressive depth toward the fleshy finish, leaving a lick of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. This is a fine Faugeres that should be afforded 4–5 years in bottle." - Vinous "Always a concentrated wine and with low 23hl/ha yields it is expectedly so. This translates as intense charred oak on the nose, but they have done a good job of balancing it with ripe berry fruit alongside liquorice and black chocolate. Sleek and confident with clear depth. Another wine that shows the success of Cabernet Sauvignon in the right places of St-Emilion." - Decanter |
