Chateau Famaey

Vintage X

Our favorite ! Wine from old vines to which we bring a lot of care and love! Harvested entirely by hand with a low yield, this wine will take you to another world.


Aged for 24 months in new oak barrels of French origin. Generous attack, ample middle with a lot of fat and structure, of great finesse that mixes sweetness and fruitiness to coat a very soft and round finish supported by very present but very coated tannins. Best enjoyed decanted during its early years.
