Château Faugères Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2015
95 POINT Bordeaux! A ten-year look-back at the STELLAR 2015 vintage – from a top estate on Saint-Émilion’s famed limestone plateau...for WHAT price?!
97 point vintage? Wine Spectator’s highest ranking Right Bank growing season since the legendary 2010? YES!!! That is what’s on the table this fine Monday morning, good people, and we scored this miracle maker at the best price in the USA! Under $40, for high-scoring, higher-flying, perfectly integrated Bordeaux? I say again…YES!!!
Château Faugères is back and better than ever! Big, rich, powerfully opulent Bordeaux from atop the highly exclusive Saint-Émilion plateau – a rigid outcropping of limestone that is home to some of the very best estates in the region…and some of the very best anywhere in the world! Troplong Mondot, Ausone, Angelus, Pavie, and Pavie Macquin – close neighbors all that share in the exceptional soil that makes these vines THRIVE! You’d pay AT LEAST $120 to score anyone of those babies today – and up to $775 a bottle! This is so, so very close in quality (go on and compare the scores) that it is simply IMPOSSIBLE not to grab at least a handful!
This 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon will absolutely FLOOR you with its rich and luscious demeanor – an ample core of blackberry, cherry, plums, and currants. Savory notes of cedar and star anise, with a dash of umami-rich hoisin sauce, and this gorgeous espresso and mocha powder finish. This is BOLD and youthful – so work on that monk-like patience and keep at least ONE bottle for 2030 and beyond, ok? Otherwise…go to town with these, they are soooo flippin’ good, and simply perfect to experience one of Bordeaux’s best vintages at a price that is simply ASTOUNDING!!! Under $40?! For a pedigreed Grand Cru Bordeaux like this? Do yourself a solid and fill up that cart!
While it lasts!
