A balanced red, with perfumed aromas and hints of fruit and tobacco. Fullbodied, with chocolate character, a solid core of fruit and a long, caressing finish. Best after 2010.

| Wijngoed informatie | "The history of Chateau Faugères can be traced back at least until 1823, when the property came into the ownership of the Guisez family. And, until very recently, the estate remained in the hands of the same family, having been inherited by Pierre-Bernard Guisez, otherwise known as Péby, and his wife Corinne in 1987. Together they produced wine from their vines which encompassed both the St Emilion and Côtes de Castillon appellations, in later years with consultation from Michel Rolland. In 1998 Péby died at the too youthful age of 52, but nevertheless his widow, aided by their daughters continued, even creating a super-cuvée, Péby-Faugères, in his honour. This was the situation until 1995, when the family sold the estate to a Swiss businessman named Silvio Denz, a friend of Comte Stephan von Neipperg who had already established a history of investment in vineyards. Together he, Rolland and Neipperg will continue the work of the Guisez family.The estate is located 6 kilometres east of St Emilion close to St Etienne de Lisse, near the slopes of the eastern St Christophe plateau; the soils are thus a mix of clay and limestone. The vines cover 80 hectares surrounding an 18th Century Carthusian monastery and are graced by a chateau (left) from the same era built in a rather understated, chartreuse style. There are 49 hectares entitled to the St Emilion appellation and 31 hectares of Côtes de Castillon. Since the change of hands in 2005, however, there have already been major changes, starting with the acquisition of more vineyards, and the construction of a new winery, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, to complement the barrel cellar built in 1992. Péby-Faugères has seen a change in name, albeit slight, to Cuvée Spéciale Péby, and there has a been a second wine introduced.(Quelle: http://www.thewinedoctor.com )" |
