JAMES SUCKLING: "A very fine tannined red with a linear line running through it, which drives the whole thing. Black berry, bark and walnut character. Medium to full body with a juicy finish. Light bitter lemons and oranges. Chewy, yet the tannins are well-integrated. 100% merlot. From organically grown grapes."

JEB DUNNUCK: "I loved the 2022 Château Peby Faugères, a full-bodied, concentrated, powerful Saint-Emilion coming from the cooler eastern edge of Saint-Emilion. Cassis, currants, graphite, spicy wood, and dried herbs define the bouquet, and it brings beautiful depth of fruit, building yet ripe tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It has a rare mix of opulence and elegance and is going to shine with just 3-5 years of bottle age. If you need your Bordeaux to be lean, anemic, and devoid of fruit, look elsewhere."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, tintig, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zartte Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholzwürze, vollreife Herzkirschen, Schokolade, tabakig, zarte Kräuterwürze. Kraftvoll, elegant, rotbeerige Nuancen, präsente, eingebundene Tannine, salzig-mineralisch im Abgang, Nugat im Nachhall, zeigt Länge und Entwicklungspotenzial, eine Kombination aus Power und Finesse."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Inky dark in color, the opulent wine delivers its layers of velvet, and cashmere textured fruits effortlessly. The wine is deep, concentrated, and long. It is also fresh, balanced and even with all of its palate-staining levels of fruit, the wine is never heavy. It remains harmonious and intense. Though, the oak presence is quite strong, so it will need time to fully come together. The wine is produced from 100% old vine Merlot. Harvesting took place September 8. Drink from 2027-2050."

WEINWISSER: "100 % Merlot, 34 hl/ha, seit Jahrgang 2020 Bio-zertifiziert. Konzentriertes schwarzbeeriges Bouquet, vielschichtige Terroirwürze, Lakritze und getrocknete Fliederblüten. Am komplexen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, reifem Extrakt und engmaschigem Tanninkorsett, die balancierte Rasse passt zu dem mit dichten Muskeln besetzten Körper. Im konzentrierten, energiegeladenen und langanhaltenden Finale Pflaumenhaut, Holundersaft und körnige Adstringenz. Ein Wein für übermorgen, kann noch zulegen! 2030 – 2059."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „The 2022 Peby Faugeres, 100% Merlot, is deep garnet-purple in color. Quite muted to start off, with considerable swirling it offers glimpses of blackberries, fresh black plums, and mulberries, plus hints of charcoal, sauteed herbs, wild fungi, and damp earth. Medium-bodied, concentrated, intense, and firm, the palate is quite tight-knit and hard to read, finishing earthy."

VINUM: "Gewiss von extremer Konzentration, doch auch von verblüffendem Schliff, saftiges Tannin, das gut den hohen Alkoholgrad ausbalanciert; perfektionistisch gemachter, moderner, beeindruckend wuchtiger Wein, der auch Rasse und Charakter besitzt. Wie auf Faugères der bisher beste Wein dieses Gutes!"
