Château Péby Faugères is a Grand Cru Classé property in Saint-Émilion, situated inside the larger Château Faugères. Owned by Swiss entrepreneur Silvio Denz since 2005, its 7.5-hectare vineyard is planted entirely to Merlot on clay-limestone soils. This release is the 2019 vintage of its second wine. It is a fruit-forward expression, with notes of liquorice, chocolate, wet earth and coffee. Structured by silky tannins, the wine finishes on a luscious note that is vibrant and persistent.

The 2019 Le Merle de Péby Faugères has an attractive nose of black cherries, raspberry coulis and light rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied, plush and rounded, and quite peppery toward the well-defined finish. The 20% Cabernet Sauvignon lends a fine graphite edge. Worth seeking out.

The 2019 Le Merle de Péby Faugères exhibits rich aromas of spicy blackcurrant and plums framed by hints of vanilla pod and coconut. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and extracted, with a sweet core of fruit and plenty of powdery tannin, it concludes with a broad, oak-inflected finish. Fans of the style will find plenty to appreciate. - William Kelley
