Description
In 2021, Péby Faugères shows its distinctly more elegant and cooler side. Instead of the opulent power of warm vintages, the wine appears precise, taut, and very finely drawn. The chalky soils of Saint-Émilion bring a lot of freshness and mineral tension to the wine, making it never seem heavy despite its depth.
The vintage relies less on ripe fullness and more on structure, balance, and calm. Fine spice, dark fruit, and silky tannins interlock harmoniously, lending the wine an almost classic style with great elegance. It is precisely this controlled, precise character that makes the 2021 particularly exciting.
The aging in wood remains perfectly integrated and supports the wine's fine structure without being dominant. As a result, Péby Faugères 2021 shows a lot of Saint-Émilion character – elegant, profound, and with a long, polished finish.
This is what to expect when drinking
black olives, blackberries, dark berry aromas and herbs
linear, intense, structured, racy and energetic
pairs with entrecôte, lamb ragout, Mediterranean cuisine, and mature cheese
