Here is an exquisite Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Émilion appellation. The 2018 vintage is characterised by its luxuriously silky tannins and blue-fruited profile. Think blueberries and blackberries with delicate floral hints. Here is a wine that is truly coming into its prime. Offered in wonderful half bottle format.

The 2018 Faugères is fabulous. Silky and nuanced, the 2018 is striking right out of the gate. As I noted previously, the 2018 marks a transition to a more finessed style that is hugely appealing. There is plenty of the richness Faugères fans expect, but, at the same time, the wine is so well balanced and harmonious. Hints of rose petal, lavender, spice and dark fruits linger on the memorable close. The 2018 is an undeniably sexy wine. Antonio Galloni1st March 2021

The 2018 Faugères, which was harvested beginning September 25, is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slips sensuously from the glass with notions of blackberry compote, wild blueberries and redcurrant jelly with hints of cardamom, cigar box and dusty soil plus a waft of star anise. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a firm backbone of rounded tannins with bold freshness and loads of black fruit preserves layers, finishing long and spicy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Barrel sample. Darkest core and bright purple rim. Dark-fruited and charry on the nose. Nicely dry in texture, like many layers of paper but could do with a bit energy and it builds to a pretty dry finish. Might well come round as there’s good fruit in the middle. (JH)
