JAMES SUCKLING: "Beautiful red with a supple and juicy undertone to the full body, pretty fruit and ripe tannins. Very refined and polished. Subtle chocolate and bluefruit. Love the layers and complexity. Really fine and juicy. Real merlot."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Made of 100% Merlot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Péby Faugères opens with crushed blackcurrants, blackberry compote and plum preserves with touches of Chinese five spice and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs in the black fruit and spicy flavors, supported by firm yet velvety tannins and ample freshness, finishing long and spicy."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Lively, with bright raspberry and damson plum coulis flavors bouncing along atop a brambly structure and fresh acidity. Shows some sneaky depth. Lovely fruit."
