Description

A Concentrated and Generous Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

Included within the property portfolio of Silvio Denz, Swiss-German businessman and President of Maison Lalique, Château Faugères is one of Saint-Émilion's most beautiful labels. A Grand Cru Classé situated in the Bordeaux wine region, Château Faugères expands over a vineyard of 37 hectares, planted in the famous limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, on the same plateau shared by most of the appellation’s greatest estates.

Humid at the beginning of the season, 2018 turned out to be an early vintage at Château Faugères due to an exceptional summer. During the grape harvest, very concentrated grapes were brought back to the cellar, thanks to a very thorough management of the harvest. In the end, the yields were rather low, with 25hl/ha on average.

The Château Faugères 2018 is a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. After one month in the vat, the wine was aged in oak barrels (50% new, 50% of one previous wine) for 15 months. In the glass, Château Faugères 2018 is dense, silky, intense. It is a powerful wine that explores the sunny side of 2018, with great maturity, concentration and richness. The estate has compared it to 2009 and 2005, two great vintages of Bordeaux. This is one of the greatest successes of the property so far.
