James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

Attractive blackberry and blueberry character with hints of spice and white pepper. Medium-to full-bodied. Quite tannic. One of best Cap de Faugères I have had.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

The 2018 Cap de Faugères is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon; harvest began on September 22. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with intense scents of preserved plums, kirsch, chocolate box and menthol with hints of woodsmoke and Indian spices. Full-bodied, rich and voluptuously fruited in the mouth, the palate has a velvety texture and plenty of red fruit sparks of freshness, finishing spicy.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2018 Cotes de Castillon wie folgt:

The 2018 Cap de Faugères is a soft, pliant and inviting Côtes de Castillon from Silvio Denz. Raspberry jam, sweet spice and floral notes all grace this pretty, silky affordable red. A slight vegetal note lurks beneath, but hopefully that will resolve itself during aging. Tasted three times.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Faugeres 2020 Saint Emilion :

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Faugères stampedes out of the glass with a herd of powerful black fruit notes: blackberry pie, baked black plums and ripe, juicy black cherries, plus hints of wild mushrooms, damp soil, tar and star anise with a waft of tobacco. The full-bodied palate is chock-full of black fruit preserves, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy.

 

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Faugeres 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

A ripe, rich red that delivers loads of crushed-berry, chocolate and walnut character, as well as fine tannins through the center palate. Layered texture.

 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Faugeres:

The 2020 Faugeres offers ripe black plum and boysenberry fruit on the nose, which is extravagant and verging on ostentatious, though somehow it maintains focus and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with red cherries, boysenberry, cola and light allspice notes on the entry. Well balanced with impressive depth toward the fleshy finish, leaving a lick of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. This is a fine Faugeres that should be afforded 4–5 years in bottle.

 

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 92-94 Punkten bewertet

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Ockerrand. Fruchtig, reife Pflaumen, frische schwarze Kirschen, etwas Nougat, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, süße Waldbeerfrucht, frisch strukturiert, präsente Tannine, mineralisch im Abgang, zitronig-salzig im Rückgeschmack, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The blackberry and blueberry character is impressive on the nose with some licorice and graphite. Salty. Full-bodied, tannic and velvety. Powerful finish. Chewy. Best Faugères ever?

 

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

Ripe. with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes. yet fresh. showing good lift throughout. A swath of roasted apple wood flavors on the finish needs to get soaked up. but there's enough depth of fruit for that.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

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.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Faugeres 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Faugeres is fresh. lively and quite deep. with a striking interplay of floral top notes and rich. layered fruit. I sense a shift towards a more refined style. Even so. there is plenty of the depth and textural richness readers have become accustomed to. Dark red fruit. espresso. cedar and dried flowers add lovely shades of aromatic nuance as well as energy. The 2018 is beautifully rendered. The blend is 85% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Proprietor Silvio Denz and consulting winemake Michel Rolland turned out a gorgeous Faugeres in 2018. My only real critique is that Faugeres and the pure Peby Faugeres are more closer in style than they usually are. which is remarkable as the blends are totally different! Tasted three times.
