James Suckling (JS) — 97–98/100 · JamesSuckling.com, 24/03/2017
This has an incredible finish to it and shows such energy and intensity. Full-bodied yet vivid and energetic. Chewy tannins. Goes on for minutes. Merlot magic.

What the critics say
Neal Martin (NM) — 91/100 · Vinous, 2020-08-01 · Drink 2022-2042
The 2016 Peby-Faugères has a very ripe bouquet of crème de cassis and blueberry scents, high-toned and a little gregarious. The palate is sweet on the entry, offering candied blue and red fruit, and supple and lithe, although I would like a little more grip and acidity on the finish. Not bad, although it showed better 12 months earlier. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Antonio Galloni (AG) — 93/100 · Vinous, 2019-01-01 · Drink 2023-2036
The 2016 Peby Faugères has come together very nicely during its élevage. Heady, exotic and full of character, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Inky red and purplish berry fruit, chocolate, rose petal and licorice all come to life as this creamy, super-expressive Saint-Émilion opens up in the glass. As always, Peby Faugères is quite extroverted in style. Tasted two times.
