Lots of black-olive and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full and linear with intensity and structure. Racy for the vintage. Energy. Class.

The 2021 Péby-Faugères is a gorgeous Saint-Émilion. Inky dark red cherry, lavender, chocolate, leather, licorice and incense fill out the layers, all framed by a generous kiss of new French oak. Péby is not materially better or more complex than Faugères, it's just done in a richer, more flamboyant style.

The 2021 Péby Faugères has quite an opulent bouquet considering the growing season, for me, without the delineation and finesse of the Faugères. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe black cherry fruit, fine tannins, a little more restraint compared to other vintages of late, fresh on the finish. Moderate length. It maybe just needs more personality.

As appears to be case with its sibling, Faugères, the limitations imposed by the vintage seem to have somewhat tamed this estate's tendency to push extraction to the limits. Exhibiting rich aromas of blackberries and plums, framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak, the 2021 Péby Faugères is full-bodied, ample and layered, but also impressively seamless and complete despite its aspirational style. It wouldn't surprise me if it were to age better than more heralded surrounding vintages.
