Château Faizeau, Sélection Vieilles Vignes Montagne-Saint-Émilion 2020

Château Faizeau Sélection Vieilles Vignes Montagne-Saint-Émilion 2020 is a powerful, classic Right Bank Bordeaux with impressive depth and concentration. Built primarily on Merlot with a supporting touch of Cabernet Franc, it combines ripe dark fruit, spice, and oak complexity in a style that reflects the long tradition of Bordeaux winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with purple reflections, hinting at its youthful energy and concentration. The nose opens with black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant, layered with licorice, gingerbread, cedar, and a subtle touch of vanilla from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with mature dark fruit, firm yet ripe tannins, gentle acidity, and a long, spicy finish. This is a wine with the substance to age gracefully for several years, developing even more complexity with time in the cellar.

Production
This wine comes from Montagne-Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where Merlot thrives in a terroir well suited to producing ripe, expressive reds with structure and freshness. The wine is made from old vines, which typically contribute greater concentration and depth, and it is vinified to preserve dark fruit character while allowing oak maturation to add spice, cedar, and vanilla notes.

Food & Serving
Best served with rich meat dishes such as beef, lamb, or game, as well as aged cheeses that can stand up to its structure and intensity. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended, especially if enjoyed young, to allow the aromas and tannins to open fully.
