One of the electric houses in Saint-Emilion, Chateau Faugeres lies supervision of Pierre-Bernard and his wife Corinne Guisez, Château Faugères' wines reached a pinnacle of quality. This property and Peby Faugères were purchased by the business man Silvio Denz, who also owns Lalique. In 2011 a new winery was inaugurated, designed by the architect Mario Botta.
The wines from this house have been seriously good. I recently had the chance to taste the 2014 Chateau Faugeres (OB, 94) from my cellar. Ripe and beautifully textured, this beauty is really singing right now. It’ll continue to evolve for at least another fifteen years.

2014 Chateau Faugeres Saint-Emilion- This beautiful Saint-Emilion from 2014 combines mostly Merlot (85%) with the remainder Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It is drinking marvelously now at nearly the ten year mark. Once on the nose this takes on layers of toasty oak with cassis, pencil lead and refined tannins that mingle well with a beautiful core of black fruits. Finishing very long, this plump and round bottling is already drinking right in its wheelhouse. Drink 2023-2038- 94
