      The Wine

      Château Faugères is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru estate on the appellation’s eastern limestone slopes, today part of the Silvio Denz family of properties. The 2018 is dominated by Merlot (85%) with Cabernet Franc (10%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%), aged in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.

      The style balances elegance and power: juicy black cherry, plum and jammy raspberry layered with toasted spice, violets and an earthy elegance, with anise and black tea nuances on the palate. The 2018 vintage was warm and generous on the Right Bank, and the half bottle makes it a perfect single-evening indulgence.
