Anthocyanes (Y. Castaing) (2022) 89 - 91 / 100

Violette, fruits noirs frais, cerise bigarreau pour un bouquet plutôt dense et légèrement alcool. Fraicheur, bouche tendue et tannique, un bel équilibre avec toutefois une structure moyennement dense. A revoir après les élevages mais pourrait être une belle surprise.

Bettane & Desseauve (2022) 91 - 92 / 100 Decanter (2022) 92 / 100

Bright and mineral, this has a good combination of creamy but still juicy strawberry and raspberry fruit with wet stone salinity on the palate, the two playing a push-pull for dominance but supported by fine, quite direct tannins. I like the clarity here, there's no frills or hiding and I like the classic nature of it. (2025 - 2038)

James Suckling (2022) 93 - 94 / 100

A very fine-textured wine with linear, racy tannins. Medium body and bright acidity. Mineral and chalk. Lovely, curranty flavor.

Jeff Leve (2022) 91 - 93 / 100

Medium-bodied, soft, fresh and silky, with layers of sweet, juicy, dark plums, black cherries, mocha and espresso. Lush and refined, the wine finishes with espresso, dark cocoa and deep, ripe, sweet pit fruits with a sprig of mint in the endnote. (2023 - 2037)

Markus del Monego (2022) 93 / 100

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Elegant nose with quite closed character, fruit developing slowly, in the background discreet spiciness. On the palate elegant with freshness, medium bodied with convincing length. Mouth-watering wine, to be observed.

Parker (2022)

Aromas of berries, plums, sweet spices and licorice, framed by creamy new oak, introduce the 2021 Faugères, a medium to full-bodied, rich and rather extracted wine that's nevertheless more seamless and polished than is sometimes the case in the banner vintages at this address.

RVF (2022) 89 - 90 / 100 Terre de Vins (2022) 92 / 100

Confiture de baies de sureau, touche acidulée, touche de fraîcheur sur l'herbe médicinale. La bouche est tendue, fuselée, articulée sur une matière droite et cinglante, un jus de cassis frais qui s'étire bien sur un caractère digeste. Une touche de rectitude qui devra se fondre.

Vinous (A. Galloni) (2022) 93 - 95 / 100

The 2021 Faugères offers a beguiling mix of inky dark fruit and brighter, saline nuances that lend vibrancy. Red/purplish berries, lavender, rose petal and sweet spice are all beautifully lifted. I have to say, I very much like the energy and overall tension here. A mix of floral and mineral accents punctuates the finish. Terrific. (2022 - 2046)

Vinous (N. Martin) (2022) 92 - 93 / 100

The 2021 Faugères offers vanilla-y red fruit and modest definition on the nose, which is quite fragrant but missing some complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and fine acidity. A less opulent Péby than of late and, frankly, all the better for it. (2027 - 2042)

Yves Beck (2022) 90 - 92 / 100

Notes de baies noires et de réglisse dans le bouquet de Faugères. Caractère friand et élégant en bouche. Les tannins sont bien intégrés et créent une bonne symbiose avec la structure acide, quoiqu’ils doivent gagner en finesse durant l’élevage. Un vin qui va de l’avant et qui ne manquera pas de gagner en expression. 2025-2034
