2021 Faugères

Silvio Denz Vineyards The estate of Vignobles Silvio Denz in Saint-Emilion and in Sauternes share the passion that drives their owner. A love for wine and the prestige of great terroirs inspired the businessman to invest in the Bordeaux region. Having led Lalique Group to success, he channelled his enthusiasm and his taste for excellence into the acquisition and development of vineyard estates. Château Faugères The winery designed by the architect Mario Botta, now an iconic part of the estate and the appellation, overlooks the rows of vines. Five centuries separate this facade with its simple yet sculptural geographic lines from the picturesque atmosphere of the Chartreuse de Faugères, built in the 16th century as a hunting lodge and enjoying the same view. As well as being a remarkable work of architecture, the winery is also a technological tool designed for cuttingedge winemaking . On the vineyard side, this 37-hectare estate is located on a limestone plateau and a clay-limestone hillside that impose a high degree of requirement. At Faugères, close attention is paid to the development of the growth cycle. The teams support and listen to the vines, allowing them to achieve ideal levels of ripeness every year. The 2021 vintage Château Faugères 2021 is a vintage with no shortage of finesse and elegance. The nose presents an explosion of fruit: blueberries, sloe, black cherries and floral notes. On the palate, it is extremely rich and delectable, with delicate acidity. The tannins are elegant and smooth, coating your entire mouth. The finish is marked by freshness and balance.
