Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon with 14.5% natural alcohol, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2008 Faugeres reveals abundant amounts of blueberry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with charcoal and underbrush characteristics as well as a hint of oak. Fleshy, hedonistic and up-front, this modern-styled St.-Emilion should be consumed over the next 10-12+ years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, July 2011

Ruby-red. High-toned, liqueur-like aromas of blueberry and coffee. Fat, sweet and easygoing, with an almost syrupy quality to the raspberry and blackberry fruit. This open-knit, easygoing fruit bomb offers immediate appeal. Finishes with sweet, harmonious tannins. I'd consume this over the next seven or eight years

Wine Spectator, December 2010

This delivers a winey core of crushed currant, melted black licorice, plum sauce and roasted vanilla flavors, all woven to- gether with solid grip on the full-bodied finish. Drink now through 2015.-J.M.

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.
