Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2006

85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark purple with a red flecked rim. Dark fruits, cassis, plum and blueberries on the nose with light floral hints of lilac and violet. Nice sweet, soft entry onto the palate of plums and cherry. Well integrated fine tannins. Long smooth cherry and spice finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2008

Just when you thought things couldn't get any better at this estate, the new proprietor, Silvio Denz, keeps building on the pre-existing quality. Consultant Michel Rolland appears to have instituted an even stricter selection. The beautiful 2005 Faugeres offers a deep ruby/purple hue along with notes of creosote, black cherries, blueberries, crushed rocks, and acacia flowers. It is full-bodied and concentrated, with silky but substantial tannin, and good acidity.

Wine Spectator, March 2008

Dark in color, with intense aromas of blackberry, tar and mineral. Almost minty. Full-bodied, with loads of ripe fruit and vanilla bean character. Long and supercaressing. This racy wine has so much going on, yet it's subtle and sexy. Best after 2012. 4,330 cases made. –JS

About Winery

Chateau Faugeres is situated on the sunny slopes of the Dordogne valley, 6 KM east of Saint-Emillion, in one of the most beautiful winegrowing sites tn the Bordeaux region. The city of Saint-Emilion and its environs were added to the list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1999. Before being acquired by Silvio Denz in April 2005, Chateau Faugeres had been in the ownership of the Pierre-Bernard Guisez family since 1823. The Vineyards, covering approximately 80 hectares, surround an 18th-century carthsian monastery and are divided between two AOCs: Saint-Emillion (49 hectares) and Cotes de Castillon (31 hectares). After 18 years devoted to the renaissance of Chateau Faugeres, their objective remains the same: to go even further in terms of quality. New proprietor Silvio Denz's goal is to take quality to an even higher level, thus he has hired both Michel Rolland and Stephan von Neipperg as winemaking consultants.
