The 2015 Peby Faugeres is pure Merlot cropped at 27 hl/ha between 1-12 October and matured in 65% new oak. It has a ripe cassis and blueberry scented bouquet that just feels a little static at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the oak a little dominant at the moment, plenty of sappy black fruit with a saline finish that displays good tension. This Peby-Faugeres seems more refined than recent vintages and once the nose gains more animation, then it could turn into a commendable Saint Emilion, even if I find the 2015 Faugeres more to my taste.- Neal Martin (04/2016)
Alluring, with a lush display of creamed raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry fruit, infused with notes of alder, tobacco and chalk. The long finish has well-embedded grip to support the rather showy fruit. Best from 2023 through 2040. 1,000 cases made. — JM (03/2018)
