Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Geniales Brombeer- und Cassisbouquet, ausladend, reife Frucht zeigend und mit schwarzer Schokolade unterlegt. Aromatischer Gaumen, sattes Extrakt, von der Frucht her praktisch nur schwarzbeerig, im Finale mit herrlichem Bountytouch. Drei Mal verkostet. Für mich ist das der beste Faugères den ich als Primeur im Glas hatte. Wow! 90'000 Flaschen auf diesem Niveau herzustellen ist schon eine besondere Leistung.


 

 

 

 


 

 

 

   

 

 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

Attractive blackberry and blueberry character with hints of spice and white pepper. Medium-to full-bodied. Quite tannic. One of best Cap de Faugères I have had.



Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

The 2018 Cap de Faugères is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; harvest began on September 22. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with intense scents of preserved plums, kirsch, chocolate box and menthol with hints of woodsmoke and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and voluptuously fruited in the mouth, the palate has a velvety texture and plenty of red fruit sparks of freshness, finishing spicy.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

The 2018 Cap de Faugères is a soft, pliant and inviting Côtes de Castillon from Silvio Denz. Raspberry jam, sweet spice and floral notes all grace this pretty, silky affordable red. A slight vegetal note lurks beneath, but hopefully that will resolve itself during aging. Tasted three times.

James Suckling bewertet den La Mouleyre 2016 im Februar 2019 wie folgt:

This has good, aromatic clarity on the nose with a wealth of ripe dark plums and a fresh-earth thread. The palate has very attractive depth and presence with ripe dark-plum flavors, holding long and even. Try from 2022.







 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied, tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?



James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Ripe, with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes, yet fresh, showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up, but there's enough depth of fruit for that.


Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Faugères, which was harvested beginning September 25, is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom, cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers, finishing long and spicy.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Faugeres is fresh, lively and quite deep, with a striking interplay of floral top notes and rich, layered fruit. I sense a shift towards a more refined style. Even so, there is plenty of the depth and textural richness readers have become accustomed to. Dark red fruit, espresso, cedar and dried flowers add lovely shades of aromatic nuance as well as energy. The 2018 is beautifully rendered. The blend is 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Proprietor Silvio Denz and consulting winemake Michel Rolland turned out a gorgeous Faugeres in 2018. My only real critique is that Faugeres and the pure Peby Faugeres are more closer in style than they usually are, which is remarkable as the blends are totally different! Tasted three times.
