Vinous

The 2024 Faugères is an expressive, layered wine with a good bit of energy. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, star anise and a kick of French oak confer exotic beauty. Pliant and medium in body, with fine overall harmony, Faugères has plenty to offer. A kick of white pepper and savory herbs from the Franc inform the finish. 04/2025

Black raspberries, spring flowers, hints of blue fruits, and chalky minerality all emerge from the 2024 Château Faugères. Medium-bodied, juicy, and forward, with gorgeous purity and fine tannins, it has the fresher style of the vintage with outstanding length. Based on 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it spends 12 months in French oak, 30% new. 05/2025

Couleur sombre, intense, belle, aux reflets grenat. Nez très aromatique, fin, pur, fruité et subtil. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, avec du goût au milieu, un corps élancé et savoureux, le vin fond sur le palais, avec un brin de vivacité dans la persistance. Mais c'est réellement incrachable. A suivre après l'élevage. Assemblage : 84 % merlot, 10 % cabernet franc, 6 % cabernet sauvignon. Degré d'alcool : 13° non chaptalisé - pH : 3,43. Rendement : 30 hl/ha. 75 % de la récolte. Production : 50 000 bouteilles. 04/2025

This shows pretty cherry, raspberry and orange aromas and flavors with medium body and a bright, vivid finish. An attractive balance of fine tannins and acidity. Juicy at the end. A blend of 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. 04/2025
