This has good, aromatic clarity on the nose with a wealth of ripe dark plums and a fresh-earth thread. The palate has very attractive depth and presence with ripe dark-plum flavors, holding long and even. Try from 2022.

Coming from a small 4-hectare plot of limestone soils and a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2016 Château Cap de Faugères La Mouleyre is deeper colored and boasts a rock star bouquet of black and blue fruits, white truffle, graphite, and crushed rocks. This beautifully textured, layered, medium to full-bodied beauty has ripe tannins and a great finish, and is one seriously good mouthful of a Bordeaux. Drink it over the coming 15+ years.
