Delicious and elegant attack, beautiful intensity, magnificent balance between liveliness and well-integrated tannins. Nice length on the fruit and freshness.

Cold pre-fermentation maceration in conical stainless steel vats for gentle vatting for one month, aging for 14 months in oak barrels, 50% of which is new wood. The vintage was vinified in the cellar built by architect Mario Botta.

James Suckling Very tight and finely tannined with a compact palate and loads of blue-fruit and blackberry character. It's full-bodied, but muscular and focused, to pull it into form.

Yves Beck Very inviting bouquet that combines notes of cocoa beans with cherries, blueberries and a mineral touch. Compact and delicious attack. Faugères has body and displays powerful, well-integrated tannins, in keeping with the structure. What balance and finesse. The wine harmoniously combines aromatics, power and freshness. He excels in several disciplines; a sort of specialist in the Vinolympic decathlon! 2025-2043.
