There are a number of Bordeaux wines with Faugeres in their name, and like others in the same situation, they form part of a large continuous estate. However, although Ch Faugeres, Ch Peby-Faugeres and Haut-Faugeres are from St Emilion, Ch Cap de Faugeres spills over to the next AOC, Cotes de Castillion and they are all under the ownership of Vignoble Silvio Denz. I think I have tasted a vintage of Peby-Faugeres and I certainly have a couple of bottles of that somewhere.
Ch Cap de Faugere is situated in the village of Sainte-Colombe and is planted with 85% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc and the rest Cab Sauvignon. The estate produces 100,000 of the Grand Vin and 200 cases of the La Mouleyre cuvee (from older vines and all matured in new oak).
