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
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Peby Faugeres leaps from the glass with vibrant scents of kirsch, Black Forest cake, blueberry preserves and red roses plus nuances of charcuterie and Ceylon tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of crunchy black and blue fruit flavors, framed by plush tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Not the usual, hedonic Peby Faugeres--I do love this more elegant, refreshing style! It is composed of 100 Merlot and was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 65 new. 10,000 bottles were made, representing 70 grand vin. Best of all, the alcohol rocks up at 14.5--over that pesky 14 USA trade tariff threshold!
