Guide Hachette / Faugères 2003 - 2006-09-01 About Faugères

Hecht & Bannier, négociant-éleveur, a choisi de présenter ce Faugères 2003, élevé vingt mois en fût, grillé, toasté, boisé au nez comme en bouche ; il faudra s’armer de patience (quatre ou cinq ans) avant de déguster ce vin charpenté mais encore trop marqué par son élevage. 15 à 23€
