Vintage Character Château Faugères’ Calice de Faugères is the refined second wine of this celebrated Saint-Émilion Grand Cru estate. Crafted mainly from Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers a supple, fruit-driven expression of the estate’s limestone terroir. The bouquet is generous and inviting, with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and red cherry, lifted by delicate floral notes and enriched by hints of cedar, vanilla, and gentle spice from oak aging.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, Calice de Faugères is smooth and harmonious, with silky tannins and a lively freshness that carries through to a long, graceful finish. Its balance of richness and elegance makes it approachable in youth, yet capable of developing further complexity with a few years of cellaring.
Winery Background Versatile at the table, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef, or game, as well as aged cheeses. It also complements Chinese cuisine, such as Peking duck, braised pork belly, or Cantonese-style roast goose, where the wine’s ripe fruit and freshness cut through the richness of the dishes. Calice de Faugères is a wine of charm and finesse.
