Le Merle de Péby Faugères: A Grand Cru Classé Pedigree

As the second wine of the esteemed Château Péby Faugères (Grand Cru Classé), Le Merle de Péby Faugères offers an immediate and elegant taste of this iconic Saint-Émilion estate. Produced from the same exceptional clay-limestone terroir, it benefits from the same meticulous winemaking philosophy-including aging in new French oak-ensuring a wine of superb quality and structure.

Tasting Profile (Representative Vintage)

• Appearance: Deep, dense purple-violet.
• Bouquet: A complex and pronounced nose of ripe black plums, dark cherry, vanilla, and fine mocha, with a savory, earthy undertone.
• Palate: Full-bodied, yet wonderfully balanced and soft. It showcases a core of sweet fruit framed by firm, ultra-fine tannins that soften into a long, satisfying, and velvety finish.

Serving & Food Match

This is a wine built for the finest dining occasions. Decanting is highly recommended. Serve at a cellar temperature of 16°C-18°C (61°F-64°F).

• Classic Food Match: Excellent with a traditional Sunday Roast Beef, game such as saddle of venison, or rich, flavourful beef stews.
• Storage: While delicious now, it will reward careful cellaring for over a decade.
