Other Reviews...
The Château Faugères 2014 has an attractive, perfumed and quite floral bouquet with black cherries, juniper and touches of violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity and a sense of harmony coming through on the finish. This has charm and class, a well-heeled Saint Emilion that will give at least a decade of pleasure. If you desire something more "flash" then opt for the Peby-Faugères, but this just seems more natural and actually, more complex. Drink 2018 - 2030.

Neal Martin - The Wine Advocate # 218 (Apr 2015)
Very fresh, with a delicious beam of plum, boysenberry and anise notes pumping along, carried by sweet spice and graphite hints. This has some pyrotechnics, and the balance to pull them off.
91-94 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Marked by the limestone terroir. Chalky, mineral notes and dry finish. Robust but not over-extracted. Lacks a little mid-palate density.
16.25/20pts (87/100pts)
Decanter
Balanced and refined with blueberry and mineral character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish.
