James Suckling (94)Incredible aromas of blackberries, blueberries, minerals and stone. Wow. Full-bodied, silky and firm. So polished. Sexy. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2016 Faugères was already showing extremely well a year ago, but now it seems to be showing what it can really do! It has a more classically trained bouquet featuring reserved blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, plus veins of undergrowth, autumn leaves and morels. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Supremely well focused, conveying impressive tension and energy on the finish. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)The 2017 Château Faugères offers a much more open-knit, sunny style, with sweet, sun-kissed red and black fruits as well as notes of spicy herbs, incense, and flowers. It's medium-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's impossible to resist today yet should keep for another decade with ease. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (96)The 2018 Faugères is fabulous. Silky and nuanced, the 2018 is striking right out of the gate. As I noted previously, the 2018 marks a transition to a more finessed style that is hugely appealing. There is plenty of the richness Faugères fans expect, but, at the same time, the wine is so well balanced and harmonious. Hints of rose petal, lavender, spice and dark fruits linger on the memorable close. The 2018 is an undeniably sexy wine. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)The 2014 Faurie de Souchard has turned out beautifully. Sweet red cherry preserve, rose petal, mint and spice give striking aromatic lift to balance the supple, red-toned fruit. There is gorgeous purity and sensuality to the flavors, but also good aromatic intensity. The 2014 needs a few years in bottle to soften, but it is super-impressive and appealing today. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2016 Faurie de Souchard is plump, racy and forward, all of which make it easy to taste and enjoy, even on the young side. Raspberry jam, mocha and sweet spice are all pushed forward in a creamy, voluptuous Saint-Émilion that is quite expressive today. The 2016 could benefit from a bit more time to help the oak integrate, but that is a relatively small critique. Tasted two times. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
