Château Faugères Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2015 i trækasse

Vincenzo Arnese, Taittinger Sommelier of the Year

Intense and ripe. Jammy fruit aromas. Good body and structure. Rich yet well-poised tannins and a frame of well-integrated oak.

Decanter

(Panel Blind tasting: 2015 St-Émilion & Pomerol) The Flagship wine of Vignobles Silivo Denz, Château faugères is situated on the appellation’s limestone plateau and is another estate that punched well above its weight in 2015. The wine has retained ample freshness in the warm vintage, combined with the beautiful richness of a great year

James Suckling

Very deep-set aromas of blackberries and red and dark plum fruits, set amid integrated oak spices, cedar and hints of earth. The palate has a super plush feel with intense flavors of blueberries and dark plums. Succulent tannins that are smooth, entrancing and very long. Try from 2022.

Arthur Coggill

An interesting, spicy nose, with cumin, mint and coffee and with some cool raspberry underneath. A sweetly ripe mouthfeel, plush and rounded, a juicy palate and bright acidity. This is fruit-forward and tasty, though with a tannic finish.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Fruity, fleshy and fresh, this combines perfectly ripe, opulently textured, red and black fruits, velvet textures and a long end note of licorice, espresso, ripe black plums and black cherry, with a bit of cocoa on top of the fruit. Round, fat, juicy, sweet, ripe, dark red fruits, cocoa, anise, smoke and plums are made even better with the lushly textured mouth feel, silky tannins and sweet, ripe, polished fruits in the finish.

Wine Enthusiast

Smooth and opulent, this is a densely tannic wine. Its dark fruits and dusty texture are backed by juicy acidity and a core of framing tannins. It will be powerful and rich with age.

Gareth Birchley

Rich, with plenty of dark fruit, good concentration and a lovely finish.

Chris Kissack, The Wine Doctor

Antonio Galloni

The 2015 Faugères is plush, deep and inviting. Succulent red cherry, plum, tobacco, cedar, licorice and new leather are some of the many nuances that take shape, and attractive floral notes add brightness and lift. This is a very pretty and alluring Saint-Émilion from Silvio Denz. The blend is 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted two times.

Wine Spectator

Beautiful aromas and flavors of warm fig and boysenberry reduction lead off, with extra raspberry and cassis notes filling in behind them. Lush in feel, with the structure nicely embedded, letting extra licorice, fruitcake and singed mesquite details chime in. The finish ripples with fruit and fresh acidity. Best from 2023 through 2035.
