The wine express the notes of full bodied wild blackcurrant, juicy blackberry, boysenberry and slight hint of crushed raspberry associated with juicy prune, cornflower, de zan, as well as waft of chocolate, caramel, sweet blonde tobacco. Good length.”

A ripe, rich red that delivers loads of crushed-berry, chocolate and walnut character, as well as fine tannins through the center palate. Layered texture.

Lots of mulled cherries, blueberries, iron, and bouquet garni emerge from the 2020 Château Faugeres, a rich, focused, yet fruit-loaded barrel sample that has a good sense of purity and elegance. I was able to taste two bottles, both showing medium to full-bodied richness, with one having slightly more precision. Both showed great mid-palates, and this is certainly a beautiful wine in the making. Two to four years should do it well and it’s going to have two decades of longevity.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Truffles, cocoa, dark red fruits, licorice and spice create a perfume that wants to get noticed. On the palate, the wine is rich, lush, concentrated, deep and polished. Yet, it is balanced by its freshness, lift and elegance that makes everything work here from start to the vibrant, cocoa, plum and spice-box finish.

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Opulent and aromatic nose reminiscent of blackberries, crème de cassis, with strawberries, mild spices and dark chocolate. On the palate rich yet elegant character with good tension, well balanced wth a juicy fruit, ripe tannins and elegant acidity. Fruit lingering in the aftertaste, convincing length and aromatic depth.
