The nose is floral at first then shows lemon, peach and fresh grape juice. Very intriguing and welcoming. The palate is very well balanced with a strong acid backbone and a sweet, delicate touch on the sides, peach, a bit of a salty thing that lingers in the end. This is everything that is good about rosé. More of that please! — 7 years ago

2016 vintage. Promesse de Fayat is the second wine of Pomerol Château Fayat, owned by Clément Fayat (also La Dominique in Saint-Emilion, and Clément Pichon and Aney in Haut-Médoc). Château Fayat is a relatively recent name (2009) , as it is a fusion of 3 Pomerol estates (Prieurs de la Commanderie, La Commanderie and Vieux Mazeyres), resulting in a big (for Pomerol standards) 16 hectares estate. A solid, medium-bodied Pomerol. A little shy at first, but opening up nicely after 30 minutes. Black juicy cherries and dark chocolate. Serious tannic structure, fresh acidity and good length. — 5 years ago
