Tasting notes
I believe the second wine of Péby Faugères, the Merlot-dominated 2019 Le Merle De Péby Faugères has a great nose of ripe red and black currants, vanilla, iron, and cured meats. This is a rich, fleshy, medium to full-bodied 2019 with beautiful fruit, an expansive mouthfeel, plenty of classy oak, and a great finish. It's going to drink nicely for a decade.
