Viniou Reviews

The 2017 Château Fayat hails from the prestigious Pomerol appellation in Le Libournais, Bordeaux, France. This region is renowned for its rich clay and gravel soils, particularly conducive to growing Merlot, the primary grape variety in Pomerol blends. 2017 was a notable vintage for Bordeaux, marked by a frost that reduced yields but often intensified the concentration of remaining fruit. Château Fayat leverages traditional vinification techniques, focusing on expressing the unique terroir of Pomerol. This area benefits from a moderate maritime climate, ensuring a long and steady growing period that supports complex flavour development. The Château itself has garnered respect over the years for its dedication to crafting wines that reflect Pomerol's elegance and depth.

For pairing suggestions, the velvety texture and plush fruit character of this Pomerol make it an excellent match for roasted meats, particularly lamb or duck. A classic Beef Wellington or a rich mushroom risotto would harmonize beautifully with the wine’s finesse. Additionally, regional dishes such as Magret de Canard or even a well-seasoned cassoulet would highlight the wine’s nuanced flavours.

When it comes to tasting, serve this wine slightly below room temperature, ideally between 16°C and 18°C. Decant it for about an hour before serving to allow the aromas to fully open. Begin your tasting by admiring its deep garnet hue, follow with a swirl to release its bouquet, which will likely reveal layers of ripe plum, truffle, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, anticipate a luxurious mouthfeel with well-integrated tannins and a lasting finish that makes a stunning impression.
