The 2016 Peby Faugeres is pure Merlot matured in 65% new oak. It has a very intense, opulent bouquet with licorice-tinged black and red fruit, although I find more personality in the Faugeres, more terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin. It feels spicy and opulent, orange rind infusing black fruit, powerful and intense on the finish.
97-98 pts - James Suckling
Very minerally and intense second wine. Full-bodied, tight and structured. Racy and long. Super second wine of Peby. Only a few thousand bottles made.
