Château Fayat

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

9.0

2019 vintage. A relatively new estate, composed by buying 3 estates(Vieux Bourgneuf, Prieurs de la Commanderie, and Commanderie de Mazeyres), and renamed after the owner Clement Fayat (who also owns La Dominique and Clement Pichon). Looks a bit older than expected. Very floral nose. Medium-bodied, with red fruit, fresh acidity, slightly rustic tannin, and good length. Gets better with air. Very cheap for Pomerol in a local supermarket ( 29,90 euro),a nice bottle of wine, but nothing really special for Pomerol. — 7 hours ago

Promesse de Fayat Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Stefan Dolhain

8.9

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. — 3 years ago

Bordeaux Blanc in the Berkshires, 40% semillion. Sharp, good. Let it warm up so the Semillion can come through — 5 years ago

Peter - any Bordeaux recos that are approachable? One wine I don’t know a lot about.

@Kevin Hyatt— since I’m a NYer I can’t resist giving directions even if I’m not sure(Bordeaux is not my strong suit, spent many years in an anti snobbish, but snobbish, snit against Bordeaux). That said, I’m going to assume your price point is below 50$, & ideally below 30$: for Blanc, my perennial love is : Château Ducasse, a heavy on the semillion blend. I have some reviews probably here. For red, ignoring the 100$ field,-Chateau Gruaud Larose is a favorite-I prefer “older”, ie leafier & less fruity. That said, Chateau Gloria for around 50$, though richer than I prefer. For under 20$ there are a surprising number of Bordeaux of good quality-chateau Prade 2016 you can get at the Inwood store we talked @ for under 18$. Any Bordeaux superior from ‘15 is worth a snag almost!

Thanks Peter. I’ll let you know how I do
