Faugères - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2023

Silvio Denz Vineyards

The estate of Vignobles Silvio Denz in Saint-Emilion and in Sauternes share the passion that drives their owner. A love for wine and the prestige of great terroirs inspired the businessman to invest in the Bordeaux region. Having led Lalique Group to success, he channelled his enthusiasm and his taste for excellence into the acquisition and development of vineyard estates. 

Château Faugères

The winery designed by the architect Mario Botta, now an iconic part of the estate and the appellation, overlooks the rows of vines. Five centuries separate this facade with its geographic lines from the picturesque atmosphere of the Chartreuse de Faugères, built in the 16th century. As well as being a remarkable work of architecture, the winery is also a technological tool designed for cuttingedge winemaking.

On the vineyard side, this 37-hectare estate is located on a limestone plateau and a clay-limestone hillside that impose a high degree of requirement. At Faugères, close attention is paid to the development of the growth cycle allowing the grapes to achieve ideal levels of ripeness every year.

After a harsh year that required continued attention, the grapes were ready to be gradually carefully harvested as each plot that makes up the Faugères vineyard mosaic became ripe. This created a delicious harmony, with texture and flavours show casing magnificent concentration.
