Description
An elegant and fresh Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé
The estate
The terroir of Château Faugères harks back to the 19th century. In 1987, Pierre-Bernard Guire and his wife inherited the estate and elevated its vineyard, with the help of Michel Rolland, to the highest level of the Saint-Émilion appellation. The estate's teams are constantly in search for quality, aiming to express the estate’s unique terroir in the glass.
The vineyard
A Grand Cru Classé, Château Faugères produces Saint-Emilion wines that stem from a 34.85-hectare vineyard.
Vinification and ageing
Vatting for 25 to 30 days in wooden vats. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months (1/3 new, 1/3 second-fill and 1/3 third-fill).
The blend
Merlot (75%), Cabernet Franc (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%).

The tasting
Nose
Expressive and lively, the nose combines fruity (blueberries, sloes, black cherries) and floral fragrances.
Palate
Rich and flavoursome, the palate is seduced by this wine’s fine acidity along with its elegant and smooth tannins. The finish is persistent and blends freshness and balance perfectly.
