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 paired with hints of licorice, garrigue and black berries, set against a backdrop of fresh oak. Faugères shows real density and is supported by precise, perfectly integrated tannins. A wine driven by precision, with an obvious focus on freshness and energy, thanks to a structure that is as incisive as it is mouthwatering. A tonic, visionary Château Faugères with exciting 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.
