Chateau Peby Faugeres 2020

Professional Ratings

• 96 James Suckling
  Lots of blue fruits and boysenberries, with redcurrants, forest floor and violets. Full and compacted with beautiful tension and focus, and fine and structured tannins. 100% merlot. From organically grown grapes.
• 96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  The 2020 Péby Faugères sports a deep purple-black color and pronounced notes of blueberry preserves, plum pudding and Christmas cake, followed by hints of licorice, Indian spices and sandalwood with a waft of wild mushrooms. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with concentrated black fruit preserves, framed by super firm, ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long and spicy. This wine has all the volume nobs turned to maximum—and it works! Definitely one for the hedonists, though. Barrel Sample: (94-96)+

  The 2020 Château Péby Faugères is a rich, modern, full-bodied, sexpot of a wine that offers more hedonistic pleasure than most in the vintage. Beautiful currant and blackberry fruit as well as graphite, chocolate, and roasted herb notes define the nose, and it brings the power on the palate, with a great mid-palate, velvety, seamless tannins, and a great, great finish. If you need a wine that will put a smile on your face, this is it.
