Robert Parker 91-93 points: The over-achieving 2005 Faugeres (85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) was made from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare. Rich and full-bodied, it boasts a deep, ruby/purple hue along with notes of blueberries, black raspberries, cassis, minerals, flowers and spice. This impressive effort tips the scales at 14.5% natural alcohol. "At Château Faugères, we have implemented sustainable growing methods for 10 years. We do not use weedkillers, insecticides, or acaricides." |
