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 | "A nice touch of fine reduction that protects the fruit and almost mingles with the oak spices, giving this a dusty feel with dulce de leche, blackberries, cassis and graphite. A crunchy, medium-bodied palate with fresh, juicy tannins and a firm, lively finish. Long, elegant and fluid. A very good expression from this lighter vintage. Drink from 2024." - James Suckling "The 2021 Faugères is a soft, open-knit, classy Saint-Émilion. A healthy dollop of Cabernet Franc adds aromatic presence. All the elements are so well balanced. Lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and mocha build into the textured, beautifully persistent finish." - Vinous "Bright and mineral, this has a good combination of creamy but still juicy strawberry and raspberry fruit with wet stone salinity on the palate, the two playing a push-pull for dominance but supported by fine, quite direct tannins. I like the clarity here, there's no frills or hiding and I like the classic nature of it." - Decanter |
