Awards
93 points James Suckling
A lush, rich with lots of blackberry, black-cherry and toasted-oak character. Lots of chocolate, too. It’s full-bodied with loads of fruit and a flavorful finish. Drink in 2022 and onwards.
90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured, the Faizeau has quite a spicy/peppery nose with a core of redcurrants, blackberry preserves and warm mulberries with touches of stewed tea and dusty soil. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with juicy fruit textured with chewy tannins, featuring a lively line and finishing spicy.
91 points Jeb Dunnuck
Graphite, blackberries, chocolate, and dried earth and minerality all emerge from the Château Faizeau, a ripe, plump, fleshy effort that has tons of fruit and charm. With no hard edges, beautiful fruit, and a good finish, I don't think it's going to make old bones, but it's packs some fruit and texture. Drink it over the coming 8-10 years or so.
93 points Wine Enthusiast
Well structured and smooth in tannin, this is a ripe and smoky wine. It is full of rich, juicy acidity that complements swathes of black currant fruits. The wine is fresh yet still rich at the end.

Surprisingly rich in its aromas, the Château Faizeau dazzles with its elegance and fine form on the palate. It's well-balanced style, and red to black fruit flavours shows just how fine wines from this satellite Saint-Émilion appellation can be.
