Description

Chateau Faugeres has a long history in St. Emilion dating back to 1619 when the vineyard was cultivated by Andre de Faugeres, which is where the property takes its name from.

In 1987, the vineyards were taken over by the Guisez family who was direct descendants of the Esquissaud family who had owned the property since 1823. Under the direction of Pierre-Bernard Guisez and his wife Corinne Guisez, Chateau Faugeres began improving their work in the vineyards and in the cellars.

This has to led marked improvements yearly by the winey producing a great quality Value for Money wine.

Tasting Notes

Grape Blend: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2014 Faugeres still has bundles of red plum and juniper berry on the nose, if anything even more generous than when I tasted it a few months ago. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, superb structure and well judged acidity. It merges with more black fruit towards the finish and has palpable energy on the finish—still excellent.
