Chateau Cap de Faugeres 2016 750ml
Product Details
The nose is fruity with lovely notes of dark berries and wild fruit. The palate is smooth, fruity and balanced with notes of blackcurrant, dark berries, and hints of cardamom and tonka beans.
The little brother of Péby Faugères and Faugères, Château Cap de Faugères, with 20 hectares of vines, is located in the pretty commune of Sainte Colombe, in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. It benefits from superb clay-limestone slopes that are an extension of the terroir in St.-Émilion, worked by the same team with the same rigour and passion. The terroir is expressed in each vintage, offering wines that can be enjoyed at a relatively early age.
85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 12 to 14 months, 60% in second-fill barrels, 40% in third-fill barrels, no fining
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2016 Cap de Faugeres (composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a medium garnet-purple color and reveals notions of warm plums, blackberry pie and black raspberries with touches of pencil shavings and sautéed herbs. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and good core of black fruits, it finishes on a long-lasting earthy note. Anticipated Maturity: 2019-2029
