Château Faugères 2024

Dark fruit, cassis, dark chocolate, tobacco, violets on the nose; a straightforward, demanding palate with noticeable structure, pronounced tannins and acidity, the fruit is currently somewhat in the background, but this should settle with maturation, aromatically long-lasting. High quality.

Chocolate, black cherries, licorice, espresso, and flowers create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, vibrant, round, and supple, with plums and cocoa that resonate from the mid-palate through to the finish. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2040. 90-92 Pts

Refreshing chalky notes combined with hints of liquorice, garrigue and dark berries on a background of fresh wood. Faugères displays density and benefits from the support of precise and perfectly integrated tannins. A wine focused on precision with a clear priority given to freshness and energy thanks to a structure that is both incisive and salivating. A tonic and visionary Château Faugères with promising prospects.

Deeply coloured wine with a moderately aromatic nose and a smooth, fragrant palate. Medium body and length. Blend: 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
