History
Created in 1998, Péby Faugères was named after Pierre-Bernard Guisez, late owner of the domain, from whom it inherited the nickname.
The Château was bought by Silvio Denz in 2005, who also became the owner of the crystal glassworks maison LALIQUE in 2009. After which, all Péby Faugères bottles were decorated with a signature engraving called “Merle et Raisins”, or “Blackbird and Grapes”.
Château Péby Faugères enters the Saint Émilion Grands Crus classification in 2012.
Château Péby Faugères obtains a nationally recognized organic agriculture certification with the 2020 vintage, after progressively switching to organic methods since 2017.
In 2021, the Château inaugurated a new winery designed by architect Mario Botta.

Château Péby Faugères
In 2021, renowned architect Mario Botta designed a new winery using top-notch equipment in order to maintain the quality and excellence of Château Péby Faugères vintage after vintage. As Silvio Denz owns both the Château and Maison LALIQUE, the winery is decorated with hidden crystal sculptures. Not only is it a beautiful example of the alliance of art and wine, but it also reminds and celebrates the “Merle et Raisins” (Blackbird and Grapes), Château Péby Faugères’s signature bottle engraving since 2009.
