Overview

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: This is a brilliant success from Château Faugères, with even silkier tannins than last year, while the almost overripe black fruit remains the signature of the winery. The wine is incredibly rich, intense, and firm, with an expressive freshness on the finish. 17/17.5
