Description

RP96 “The luxury cuvee from Faugeres (owned by Bernard Magrez), the 2000 Peby Faugeres is the real deal. Sadly, only 500+ cases were made of this compelling St.-Emilion. An inky/blue/purple hue is accompanied by aromas of espresso roast, blueberry liqueur, smoke, and graphite. Thick and unctuously-textured with impressive purity and depth as well as full-bodied power and richness, it needs another 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades.” RP Jun 2010
“There are 500 or so cases of this thrilling 2000 that emerges from a south-facing slope of the Faugeres vineyard. A prodigious wine as well as one of the superstars of the vintage, the spectacular 2000 represents the essence of Bordeaux” RP Apr 2003
