Chateau Faugeres Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2020 i trækasse

”95-96 points. Fruity, balanced, and offers nice fine texture, precise, elegance" - Vert de Vin
"94-95 points. A ripe, rich red that delivers loads of crushed-berry, chocolate and walnut character…” – James Suckling

Château Faugeres er med sin smukke, arkitekttegnede hovedbygning et slot man lægger mærker til på sin vej gennem Saint-Èmilion. Men selvom arkitekturen er moderne, så er det et slot med traditioner og Château Faugeres kunne således i 2019 fejre deres 400-års jubilæum. Imponerende!  

Lige så imponerende er slottet vinfremstilling, hvor de plot for plot høstet og vinificerer de 42 hektar vinmarker, der ligger placeret på et 80 meter højt ler- og kalkstensplateau. Syd og sydøst-vendt orientering giver druerne masser af sol og du kan forvente dig en tætpakket Cru Classé med sorte kirsebær, blommer, solbær og florale strejf samt luksuriøse fadkrydderier fra 14 måneder på 50 % nye barrique-fade.

Årgang 2020 er noget af det bedste Chateau Faugeres har præsteret og til denne pris et kæmpe Cru Classé-scoop!

Obs. Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

Anmeldelser af Chateau Faugeres Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2020

95-96/100 Vert de Vin
“On the nose, fresh, good quality, intense, powerful as well as fine texture. It reveals the notes of wild full bodied blackcurrant, boysenberry, slight hint of concentrated violet plums, associated with touch of strawberry, small blackberry, cherry blossom, violet, de zan as well as discreet hint of pepper. On the palate, fruity, balanced, and offers nice fine texture, precise, elegance, strictness, a good definition, fine sweetness, harmony, a certain purity of the fruit, savory taste. The wine express the notes of full bodied wild blackcurrant, juicy blackberry, boysenberry and slight hint of crushed raspberry associated with juicy prune, cornflower, de zan, as well as waft of chocolate, caramel, sweet blonde tobacco. Good length.”

"A ripe, rich red that delivers loads of crushed-berry, chocolate and walnut character, as well as fine tannins through the center palate. Layered texture."

"Lots of mulled cherries, blueberries, iron, and bouquet garni emerge from the 2020 Château Faugeres, a rich, focused, yet fruit-loaded barrel sample that has a good sense of purity and elegance. I was able to taste two bottles, both showing medium to full-bodied richness, with one having slightly more precision. Both showed great mid-palates, and this is certainly a beautiful wine in the making. Two to four years should do it well and it’s going to have two decades of longevity."

94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
" Truffles, cocoa, dark red fruits, licorice and spice create a perfume that wants to get noticed. On the palate, the wine is rich, lush, concentrated, deep and polished. Yet, it is balanced by its freshness, lift and elegance that makes everything work here from start to the vibrant, cocoa, plum and spice-box finish.”

94/100 Markus Del Monego MW
"Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Opulent and aromatic nose reminiscent of blackberries, crème de cassis, with strawberries, mild spices and dark chocolate. On the palate rich yet elegant character with good tension, well balanced wth a juicy fruit, ripe tannins and elegant acidity. Fruit lingering in the aftertaste, convincing length and aromatic depth."
