2015 Château Peby Faugeres Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion

Château Faugères is one of the new comets in Saint-Emilion, and the property has risen considerably in quality since the 1990s, and was purchased in 2005 by Silvio Denz, who is known as the co-owner of Peter Sissek's Château Rocheyron. The château is located in eastern Saint-Emilion, on the border with Castilllon. In fact, part of Faugères' fields are on the Castillon side; the grapes from these fields are offered as Côtes de Castillon under the name "Cap de Faugères". Château Faugeres has, among other things, made a name for itself by its extremely rigorous sorting of the harvest, and only maximum ripeness grapes are used - otherwise the harvest is sold elsewhere. It is also worth noting that the wine is both fermented and barrel-aged in predominantly new oak. Château Faugères makes well-structured, complex and distinctly generous wines. Château Péby-Faugères is the château's top cuvée, named after the owner's (Corinne Guisez) late husband, Péby Guisez. The wine is made from grapes from a particularly favorably located parcel, from which an extremely limited yield is harvested. World-renowned consultant Michel Rolland has been associated with the chateau for a long time, and it shows. The wine is black as tar and the concentration is simply breathtaking. Translated using AI.
