2018 CHÂTEAU FAUGÈRES (SUBSKRIPTION)

James Suckling: 95-96/100 Punkte
»The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied, tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?«

Falstaff: 93/100 Punkte
»Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feines Brombeerkonfit, reife schwarze Herzkirschen, zart nach Dörrzwetschken. Mittlerer Körper, süße Kirschfrucht, intergrierte Tannine, salzig-mineralisch im Abgang, feiner Nougat im Rückgeschmack.«

Wine Spectator: 92-95/100 Punkte
»Ripe, with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes, yet fresh, showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up, but there's enough depth of fruit for that.«

Decanter: 92/100 Punkte 
»This 2018 is true to the Faugères signature of big, bold and totally confident in its tannic and fruit structure. It's high in alcohol but also high in acidity, with great structure without trying to push its agenda. The big, chewy tannins are reflective of its cooler terroir on the eastern edge of St-Emilion. This impressive wine will age well. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040« 

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91-93/100 Punkte 
»The 2018 Faugères, which was harvested beginning September 25, is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom, cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers, finishing long and spicy.«

Weinwisser: 18+/20
»85 % Merlot, 10 % Cabernet Franc, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 hl/ha. Dichtes Purpur mit undurchsichtiger Mitte und violettem Rand. Dichtes würziges Brombeerbouquet, dahinter viel Cassis, Schattenmorellensaft und Veilchen. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und genial stützender Frische, präzise vinifiziert. Im gebündelten, sehr dichten Finale blaue Beeren, kühlendes Menthol und Lakritze. Grossartige Leistung, kann noch zulegen! Trinken 2025 bis 2045«
