2018 Chateau Fayat

France / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge
 
Château Fayat was first produced in 2009 following a merger of three properties: 
Château La Commanderie de Mazeyres, Château Vieux Bourgneuf, and Château Prieurs de la Commanderie.
 
Château Fayat experiences an exceptional diversity of soil. The strong restructuration of the vineyard of La Commanderie de Mazeyres and the powerful potential of the vineyard of Vieux Bourgneuf offers interesting prospects to Château Fayat.
 
Color: Purple. Nose: Spices and black fruits. Taste: Good balance, ripe tannins and elegant length.
 
The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve tasting notes 90/100 (2021): "Medium-bodied, lifted, soft, polished, sweet, bright, fresh cherries, and red plums are accompanied by licorice, dark chocolate, coffee bean and herbs on the mid-palate and in the finish".
 
Blend:
92% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc.
