"Along with Cheval Blanc, this is the freshest, most distinguished wine in Saint-Emilion's north-western sector in 2015. The alcohol remains very restrained in this long form. Floral and earthy at the same time, the flavor is dominated by the taut expression of old Cabernet Franc."

About the wine:
Along with Cheval Blanc, this is the freshest, most distinguished wine in Saint-Emilion's north-western sector in 2015. The alcohol remains very restrained in this long form. Floral and earthy at the same time, the flavor is dominated by the taut expression of old Cabernet Franc.
About the domain :
Well placed between Cheval-Blanc, La Dominique and Ripeau, Château Jean-Faure was acquired in 2004 by Olivier Decelle, who also owns Mas Amiel in Roussillon and, in part, the young Nuiton wine merchant, Decelle-Villa. Deeply rethought, vintage after vintage of Jean Faure reveals disturbing and exciting similarities with the Pomerol style of Cheval-Blanc, without in any way being a copy. With his Cabernets, Jean Faure explores a "Pinotant" fruitiness all his own. This progress has only been possible by focusing the estate on major agronomic efforts. Cabernet Franc is no longer seen as a complement to the blend, but as the heart of the wine.
