Why We're Buying
Château Peby Faugeres is a relatively young estate, but it's more than deserving of its grand cru classé title. Located in Saint-Émilion, the estate has never scored lower than 91 for any vintage. It's a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship and terroir that brings this opulent merlot-dominant wine to life.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the super classics of the vintage, the 2011 Peby Faugeres (100 Merlot) exhibits a dense blue/purple color as well as gorgeous aromas of acacia flowers, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. This full-bodied, concentrated wine has more in common with a 2009 or 2010 than most 2011s. The extravagant fruit character nearly conceals some sweet tannin in this masterpiece. Drink it over the next two decades or more.
Wine Spectator
Pure, fruit-laden and refined, with lovely blueberry, plum and blackberry notes that glide along, inlaid with licorice snap, fruitcake and hoisin sauce accents. The long finish drips with fruit, while a charcoal spine imparts balance. This estate is on a roll. Best from 2016 through 2026.
