Product Description
RP100 "A perfect wine in this vintage, the 2005 Peby Faugeres has the classic liqueur of blueberries and spring flowers. Dense purple and full-bodied, with unbelievable richness, this tastes like a great Napa Cab from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, even though there's no Cabernet Sauvignon in it. This is a sensational wine - rich, full and multi-dimensional, with a skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. Kudos to Peby Faugeres for producing one of the perfect wines of the vintage. Drink it in about 3-4 years as well as over the following two decades." RP Jun 2015
Robert Parker writes, "New proprietor Silvio Denz has renamed his luxury cuvee, but the quality is as high as it was under Faugeres’ former owner. The good news is that both Stephan von Neipperg (proprietor of Canon-La-Gaffeliere and a few other estates) and Michel Rolland have been hired as consultants." Published: Apr 29, 2007
