2016 Château Péby Faugères Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion

WeinWisser

Undurchsichtiges Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und lila Rand. Was ist denn hier los! Ein blaubeeriges Parfüm mit Brombeeren und Veilchen, so elegant daherkommend, Iris und schwarze Johannisbeere. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit Heidelbeeren und parfümierten Pfeiffentabak. Die Tannine sind so cremig abgerundet wie bei einem Düsenjet - im nicht enden wollenden Finale blaubeerige Frucht und Wachsnoten. Gehört auch dieses Jahr ganz klar in die Spitzengruppe von St.-Émilion! Gratulation an den neuen Estate Manager Yann Buchwalter (ehemals Château Clarke) für den perfekten Start! 2027 – 2057

The Wine Advocate

The 2016 Peby Faugeres (100% Merlot aged for 18 months in 65% new French oak barriques) has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. Wow--it slides sensuously out of the glass with scents of candied violets, Chinese five spice and chocolate box over a core of baked plums, black cherry compote and warm black raspberries plus wafts of new leather and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is decadently spicy, with bags of black fruit preserves framed by plush tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift.
