Chateau Petit Faurie de Soutard 2020

Professional Ratings

• 93 James Suckling

  Aromas of dark chocolate, bark, cherries, and basil follow through to a medium body with integrated, creamy tannins. Iodine and crushed stone undertones. Juicy finish. Slight bitter lemon at the end. Needs time to open and come together.

• 93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2020 Petit Faurie de Soutard displays a deep garnet-purple color and upfront, vibrant scents of wild blueberries, Bing cherries, black raspberries and dark chocolate, plus hints of ground cloves, cracked black pepper and cumin seed. The medium to full-bodied palate offers a fantastic line of freshness and bold, crunchy red and black berry layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins, finishing long with a cheery skip in its step.

  Ripe, smoky black fruits, chocolate, earth, leather, and truffly notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Petit Faurie De Soutard, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, supple 2020 with firmer tannins.

  With its big dollop of Merlot, this is a ripe wine. Its full black fruit flavors are a fine foil to the tannic structure. This Grand Cru Classé wine shows the freshness of the 2020 vintage set against weight and richness.
