Chateau Cap de Faugeres - Cotes du Castillon 2022

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

The little brother of Péby Faugères and Faugères, Château Cap de Faugères, with 20 hectares of vines, is located in the pretty commune of Sainte Colombe, in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation.

It benefits from superb clay-limestone slopes that are an extension of the terroir in St.-Émilion, worked by the same team with the same rigor and passion.

The terroir is expressed in each vintage, offering wines that can be enjoyed at a relatively early age.

 Bright and vivid fruit with red berries, flowers and crushed stone. Medium body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Salty at the end. Crunchy. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon. So drinkable now, but will age nicely.

The 2022 Cap de Faugères has a sprightly, quite opulent bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and violet scents, cohering nicely in the glass with its well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with sapid black fruit, fine delineation and a lovely saline finish. This is recommended. - Neal Martin
