Marks and reviews

/100

Decanter

Ripe black fruit with liquorice, tobacco and cedar aromas. Sleek and polished, this has both a brightness and subtle power to it. Oak is on show as expected, giving a slightly toasted edge to the pure berry fruit but the tannins are beautifully positioned and integrated. High acidity carries to the long finish. A little firm and tight still, but really well made with poise and finesse. Polished! Yield of 33hl/ha. Ageing 20% stainless steel, 80% in barrels.

Licorice, cocoa, black cherries, and espresso create the aromatic profile. The palate is even better, with lush, creamy, silky dark fruits, polished, plush tannins, and a chocolatey, black cherry, espresso bean-packed finish. Drink from 2028-2045. 92-94 Pts

Jane Anson

Estate signature, showing inky depths and character: damson, blueberry, espresso. A good-quality wine with character and impact. Real ageing potential. Harvest September 3 to 19. 80% in oak, of which 1/3 is new. 33 hl/ha yield. Owner: Silvio Denz.

Yves Beck

The bouquet of Faugères unfolds gradually, first revealing floral nuances before giving way to chalky notes, then aromas of black berries and, finally, a touch of oak ageing. Subtly suave on the attack, the wine develops in a linear fashion, showcasing powerful yet perfectly integrated tannins that are, moreover, in harmony with the energising character of the acidity. This Faugères combines charm, vigour and elegance. It is savoury and persistent, will benefit from time in the cellar, and can also be enjoyed in its youth.

Vinum

On the nose, blackcurrant fruit, floral notes, ripe cherries and lemon balm; an approachable palate with a slightly creamy texture, tightening through the mid-palate into a more vertical profile, with a delicate core of fruit; fine tannins, pronounced acidity, very good harmony and a fresh, long finish marked by sour cherry. A delightfully nuanced Faugères that will charm early yet has the capacity to age.

Description

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for Château Faugères 2025

Tasting

Appearance
This wine displays a brilliant colour with cherry highlights and a beautifully luminous depth.

Nose
The intense bouquet is fruit-driven, led by blackberry, with subtle notes of grey pepper and delicate hints of summer flowers.

Palate
The palate is concentrated and dense, perfectly structured by a delicate acidity and very fine, chalky tannins. It unfolds with delicious notes of blackberry and pomegranate juice before turning spicier. The long finish is underscored by slight touches of bitterness.

Food and wine pairing
This fine wine pairs wonderfully with slow-cooked red meats, game stews and mushroom dishes. It also goes very well with blue cheeses and moderately spiced dishes.

Serving and cellaring
To make the most of its potential, it is best to cellar Château Faugères 2025 for 6 to 8 years before tasting. It will drink well until around 2045.

The elegance and richness of a great Saint-Émilion terroir

The estate
Founded in 1823 by the Esquissaud family in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, in the renowned Bordeaux region, Château Faugères passed through several owners before Silvio Denz acquired it in 2005. He has left his mark on the estate by modernising its facilities while respecting its heritage. Now a Grand Cru Classé, the estate combines tradition and innovation, notably through its contemporary winery and strong commitment to the environment, reflecting the excellence of its terroir.

The vineyard
The 39.54-hectare vineyard lies on superb clay-limestone soils on the gentle slopes of the Saint-Émilion appellation. At their highest point, the vines grow on a plateau that offers ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen.

The vintage
The year was dry and moderate. These favourable weather conditions allowed optimal photosynthesis throughout the growing season, with no renewed vine growth before harvest. The harvest took place under excellent conditions, beginning on 3 September with the Merlot and ending on 19 September with the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaking and ageing
Maceration lasts 25 to 28 days in stainless steel vats. For ageing, 20% of the wine remains in stainless steel vats and the other 80% matures in barrels. These barrels are split equally between new oak, barrels used for one previous wine and barrels used for two previous wines. Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties
70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
