Tasting Notes: Ruby robe intense and deep. The nose is rich, composed of spices, violets and red fruit. The palate is round, ample and mineral with an intense fruitiness supported by very fine tannins. You will be surprised by the freshness of this wine.

International Wine Report: “The 2016 Chateau Rigaud Faugeres offers aromas of black cherries and raspberries laced with lavender, wet stones, licorice and hints of exotic spices. The palate is medium-bodied, round and plush, with flavors of dark berries, chocolate and spices which expand seamlessly across the palate. It remains beautifully balanced, underlined with a gorgeous streak of acidity leading up to the long, juicy finish.”

Jeb Dunnuck: “Another terrific value from this estate is the 2016 Faugeres, which is 50% Syrah and the rest Grenache and Cinsault. Complex, medium-bodied, and incredibly floral, it has lots of leather, dried soil, and sweet red fruits on the nose. I’d be thrilled to drink a glass any time over t he coming 3-4 years.”
