Chateau Peby Faugeres 2024

JAMES SUCKLING: "The purity of fruit is so attractive with violets, fresh raspberries and crushed-stone powder. Medium-bodied and very transparent. The verve and energy are just right. Crisp, elegant and fine."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Brilliant black raspberries, ripe cherries, spicy wood, and floral notes all emerge from the 2024 Château Peby Faugères. Made from 100% Merlot and aged 12 to 14 months in French oak, it's medium to full-bodied, juicy, and lively, with remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. This is an outstanding wine from this team, and Château Peby Faugères remains one of the most underrated estates in Saint-Émilion."

WEINWISSER: "100 % Merlot. Betörendes Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, Heidekraut und parfümierter Pfeifentabak. Am saftigen Gaumen mit engmaschigem, zupackendem Tanninkorsett, feinnerviger Rasse und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im konzentrierten, aromatischen Finale rote Beeren, Wacholder und mehlige Adstringenz. Ein linearer, maskuliner Péby!"

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Kandierte Veilchen, feine schwarze Kirschfrucht, etwas Lakritze und Edelholz, facettenreiches Bukett. Komplex, reife Ribisel, straffe Textur, rassige Struktur, saliner Abgang, wird von Reifepotenzial profitieren."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, dark pit fruits, chocolate, boysenberries, and licorice create a captivating aromatic profile and delightful palate experience. Supple, creamy, fresh, and fruity, the wine reveals its minerality-driven essence with ease. The fruits provide lift and energy from start to finish, making everything work beautifully this year.
