Description
Château Péby Faugères is a unique winery with a very small Merlot vineyard of 7.45 ha in the extension of the south of St. Emilion, with an exceptional terroir of clay-limestone with old vines (approx. 45 years) planted on slopes next to Ch. Faugères where very low yields (20hl/ha) are produced. The wine matures for 18 months in 65% new oak and the fermentation takes place partly in small oak barrels (microvinification). The wonder duo Michel Rolland and Stephan Von Neipperg provide the advice here. Only 9000 bottles of this delicacy are produced and this for worldwide distribution.
The wine is presented in a sculpted bottle featuring the image of a blackbird, and for good reason. From the 2009 vintage onwards, Silvio Denz gave Château Péby Faugères the image that has come to define it: The Blackbird and the Grapes, designed by René Lalique in 1928, which is engraved on every bottle of Château Péby Faugères. Silvio Denz is a passionate collector, with a particular fondness for the art of René Lalique – so much so that he took over the business. Merlot is the grape variety used at Château Péby Faugères, and he has managed to unite his two loves in perfect harmony: the art of René Lalique and the art of wine that he strives to perfect at Château Péby Faugères. The word "merlot" means "little blackbird" in French dialect. The name was given to the grape because of its black color and also the fact that blackbirds like to eat them.
The Château Péby Faugères Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) is made from 100% Merlot, the Péby Faugères has a deep garnet purple colour and comes out of the glass with inviting notes of blueberry tart, plum pudding, chocolate covered cherries and mulberries with hints of eucalyptus, cinnamon stick, cloves and unsmoked cigars plus a hint of cigar box. The palate is full, tight and muscular with a rock-solid structure of firm, velvety tannins and a delicious freshness, which finishes very long with lots of mineral notes.

CHÂTEAU PÉBY-FAUGÈRES ST.-EMILION 2022
Score
97-98
A very fine tannined red with a linear line running through it, which drives the whole thing. Black berry, bark and walnut character. Medium to full body with a juicy finish. Light bitter lemons and oranges. Chewy, yet the tannins are well-integrated. 100% merlot. From organically grown grapes.

From: 2022 Bordeaux in Bottle: Living in the Present (Jan 2025)
The 2022 Peby Faugères, 100% Merlot, is a rich, heady wine. A blast of black cherry, plum, lavender, licorice, sage, grilled herbs and menthol stains the palate. This sumptuous, explosive Saint-Émilion packs a pretty serious punch. There's a lot of wine here. This is a gorgeous, stylish offering from Silvio Denz.

I loved the 2022 Château Peby Faugères, a full-bodied, concentrated, powerful Saint-Emilion coming from the cooler eastern edge of Saint-Emilion. Cassis, currants, graphite, spicy wood, and dried herbs define the bouquet, and it brings beautiful depth of fruit, building yet ripe tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It has a rare mix of opulence and elegance and is going to shine with just 3-5 years of bottle age. If you need your Bordeaux to be lean, anemic, and devoid of fruit, look elsewhere

Edge of kirsch and creme de cassis on the nose, this is heady, with white and black pepper, bitter chocolate and rosemary herbs, starts off at high intensity then pulls back and delivers a creamy finish. Organic certified. Vincent Cruège technical director, Silvio Denz owner. Harvest September 8 - just one day for this entirely Merlot wine. 45% new oak.

Château Péby Faugères Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) has a very small vineyard of 7.45ha in the extension of the south of St. Emilion, with an exceptional terroir of clay-lime with old vines (approx. 45 years) planted on slopes next to Ch. Faugères where production is done with very low yields (20hl / ha).
The Esquissaud family acquired the estates of Châteaux Faugères and Péby Faugères in 1823 and inherited in 1987 by Pierre-Bernard Guisez. Until then, all the wine produced had been sold to a single local merchant. P. Guisez and his wife Corinne wanted to get more involved in the vineyards and went in search of the best quality. Their wish was to see these exquisite terroirs become jewels in the crown of the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation, a wish that would be fulfilled in a short time with the help of Michel Rolland. From the year 2000, the wines of Château Faugères and Château Péby Faugères have occupied a place among the very best. Robert Parker described Péby Faugères as one of the "24 best Bordeaux wines" and "legend of the future".
The wine is aged for 18 months on 65% new oak and the fermentation is partly done in small oak barrels (microvinification). These are turned up to three times a day by means of a wheel system. The wonder duo Michel Rolland and Stephan Von Neipperg provides the advice here. This top wine can keep for 20 years. Only 9000 bottles of this delicacy are produced and this for worldwide distribution. The wine is packaged in a sculpted bottle with an image of a blackbird. The grape variety merlot gets its name from the French word 'merle', which means blackbird. Thanks to the similarities in both color (black berries) and the fact that blackbirds like the berries of the merlot grape, these were linked.
It has since become an iconic winery with very high ratings including even and 100 out of 100 from Parker so we are talking about an absolute Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.
