Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2025

James Suckling: A fresh and crunchy red with blackberry and cherry character and a salty undertone from the limestone soil. Medium-bodied, fresh and vivid. A blend of 85% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Blumig unterlegte dunkle Kirschenfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, heller Nougat, ein Hauch von Holz, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, reife Kirschen, dezente Fruchtsüße, feine Tannine, frisch und anhaftend, ein eleganter, vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."

Decanter: Crisp and lively, this has tangy acidity with a really cool and fresh base of blueberries and black cherries. Clean and focussed with grip and a soft underlying power that pushes the flavours from start to finish. Plenty of juiciness and structured tannins. Nice. Yield of 21hl/ha. Ageing 100% stainless steel vats."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Licorice, espresso, cherries, and a touch of smoke open the wine. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, forward, and fruity with a creamy finish. This will be ready to go on release and will offer over a decade of pleasure. The wine was blended with 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2028-2038."
