Château Fayat offers a fruity and intense red wine that is distinguished by the finesse of its aromas and its elegance. Fruity notes of berries and ripe fruit followed by more woody and even roasted notes structure the whole. Its fine tannins wrap the palate in a nice freshness. The finish is ample and silky.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Aromas of cedar, dark fruit, pine and mushroom follow through to a full body with very fine, chewy tannins that integrate nicely into the palate. Long, persistent finish.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Alluring, with a caressing feel from start to finish, as steeped plum and blackberry fruit flavors meld with a mix of anise, fruit cake and licorice root notes, followed by a hint of subtle dark earth at the very end. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2018 Fayat, a Pomerol that I did not taste out of barrel, is tightly wound on the nose, eventually revealing black fruit, scorched earth, and touches of leather and truffle. The palate is medium-bodied, with sappy black fruit struck through with a fine bead of acidity. Good energy here, more focus than recent vintages and plenty of tension on the spicy finish. This is one to watch.
