A red wine from the municipality of Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse in the Saint-Émilion region (Bordeaux). It is not an estate of its own, but the almost eight hectares of vineyards used for it are part of Château Faugères (see the history there). This estate was bought by Swiss entrepreneur Silvio Denz from the previous owner Corinne Guisez in 2005. As a tribute to her husband Pierre-Bernard (Péby for his friends), who died in 1998, she selected the best plots with Merlot vines that were on average 45 years old and produced a wine called "Péby Faugères" for the first time in the 2000 vintage. From the 2005 vintage onwards, it was then called "Château Péby Faugères" (also "Château Faugères Cuvée Spéciale Péby"). It was classified as a Grand Cru Classé in 2012. According to US wine critic Robert Parker, it is one of the best wines in Bordeaux. The long-lasting red wine is made from 100% extremely low-yielding (2009: 18 hl/ha) Merlot grapes. It matures for 18 months in 100% new barriques. Only around 800 cases are produced each year.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
