93 100James SucklingVery crunchy and salty with almost a hint of white pepper. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Bright. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. 92-93/100.

93 100Yves BeckQue d’énergie et de fraîcheur dans ce bouquet marqué par des notes crayeuses et fumées ainsi que des parfums de cassis, de mûres et de réglisse. En bouche, le vin convainc par son équilibre, respectivement par son lien entre les côtés élancés et vigoureux. Ses tannins légèrement crémeux vont de pair avec une rafraîchissante tension. Le vin est élégant, invitant et demande à quelque peu s’épanouir, mais les perspectives sont d’ores et déjà réjouissantes. 2027-2042

90 100Alexandre MaThe saltiness of limestone is prominently featured, while the fruit aromas are dominated by prune and red mulberry, with a slightly vague complexity in the nose. The tannic structure is very typical of Castillon and overall, this wine belongs to the powerful, tensile style of wine.

Château Cap de Faugères comprises 20 ha of vines directly adjoining the famous St-Émilion appellation. The terroirs are absolutely comparable, but are located in Castillon. The vines grow on limestone soils, which partly explains the unique freshness of Cap de Faugères wines.
Cold pre-fermentation maceration in conical stainless steel vats, gentle vatting for three weeks, aging for 12 months in french oak of 2nd and 3rd passage.
