Château Faugères Haut Faugeres Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020 (750ml) *

Saint-Émilion sits on Bordeaux's Right Bank, where Merlot leads the blend and the wines tend toward a plumper, more open texture than their Left Bank counterparts. This Grand Cru from Château Faugères, its Haut Faugères bottling from the 2020 vintage, works in that idiom, a Merlot-driven red rounded out with the darker structure of Cabernet, meant to reward both current drinking and time in the cellar.
