Château Faugères - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2014

Vinous

92-95 / 100

The 2014 Faugères is rich, intense and powerful, yet retains a gorgeous sense of freshness that gives lift to the dark plum, crème de cassis, spice and floral flavors. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2014 is impeccably balanced and polished, not to mention incredibly appealing. Hints of lavender, mint and sweet spices are laced into the super expressive, nuanced finish. Tasted two tines.

The wine is approachable and easy to like. Lush, forward and filled with ripe, juicy plum, chocolate-covered cherry and licorice tones. 90-91 Pts

The Château Faugères 2014 has an attractive, perfumed and quite floral bouquet with black cherries, juniper and touches of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a sense of harmony coming through on the finish. This has charm and class, a well-heeled Saint Emilion that will give at least a decade of pleasure. If you desire something more "flash" then opt for the Peby-Faugères, but this just seems more natural and actually, more complex.

Round, soft and easy to enjoy with ripe tannins and plummy flavors. Balanced and forward with approachability and attractive sweetness. Enjoy in 4 to 5 years time.

Marked by the limestone terroir. Chalky, mineral notes and dry finish. Robust but not over-extracted. Lacks a little mid-palate density. Drink: 2020-2028 (87)

Mid crimson. Sweet start but a gentle hand on the oak. Until the very end when some dryness digs in. Good combination of richness and freshness until then. It may all soften.

Balanced and refined with blueberry and mineral character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Geniales Bouquet, das Nasenbild weist eine rahmige Fülle auf, herrliche viel dunkle Waldbeeren und auch eine ganz verführerische Cassisnote ist da mit drin. Im Gaumen ist dieser sehr elegante Wein voller Charme und gebündelter Textur. Und so genial klingt er auch aus. Es ist/wäre also möglich sehr aromatische Weine zu produzieren, ohne dass gleich die Tannine den Hauptteil des Weines darstellen. Damit meine ich ein paar leidig extrahierte einiger Nachbarn. Wer diesen Wein kauft, wird in etwa acht Jahren ausflippen. 18/20 2022 – 2036

Very fresh, with a delicious beam of plum, boysenberry and anise notes pumping along, carried by sweet spice and graphite hints. This has some pyrotechnics, and
the balance to pull them off.
