2015 Peby Faugeres

Made from 100% Merlot and aged for 18 months in 65% new and 35% one-year-old French oak barrels, the 2015 Peby Faugeres has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and a strikingly beautiful nose of exotic spices, baked blackberries, plum jam, cherry syrup and fragrant earth with hints of smoked meat, lavender, licorice and tapenade. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and fruit-driven, with opulent, decadent black and blue fruits, a very firm but ripe structure and an incredible depth and length on the finish. Stefan von Neipperg advises on the cultivation of the vineyards, while Michel Rolland concentrates on the harvest, vinification, ageing and final blending.
