Château Péby-Faugères - St.-Emilion 2000 (750ml)
Château Péby-Faugères Description
A very great vintage.
The weather was highly variable all year long, marked by hot, dry months of August and September, ensuring very good ripening of the grapes and guaranteeing a perfect state of health right up to the harvests. In addition the skins were very thick, providing very high marc/juice ratios resulting in wines with lots of colour, rich in very mature tannins, with extraordinary fruit. Harvesting are on 3 and 5 October. We preferred to make the most of the last days of sun to perfect the ripeness of our grapes.
100% Merlot
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This jumps out of the glass, with berry, Indian spices and raspberry character on the nose. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a caressing texture. Slightly short on the finish. A bit too much wood, but impressive. Best after 2008.
