Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
An interesting blend, an elegant 2010 with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, espresso, and vanilla. The wine is supple, round, medium-bodied, and will be at its best over the next 7 to 8 years.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16,5/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2018 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
Without harshness, the 2010 develops a long finish with subtle notes of blackcurrant and smoked bacon. The greatest vintage in the history of the château.
About the estate:
Ideally located 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 part of the young Nuit-Saint-Georges négociant, Decelle-Villa. Thoroughly redesigned, Jean Faure reveals, vintage after vintage, striking and exciting similarities with the Pomerol style of Cheval-Blanc, without being a copy of it in any way. This is because Jean Faure explores a unique "Pinot-like" fruitiness with its Cabernets. This progress could only be achieved by focusing the estate's efforts on major agronomic improvements. Cabernet Franc is no longer considered here as a complement to the blend, but is valued as the heart of the wine.

Note and opinion by Mr. THIBAULT E. Published on 04/15/2022
A wine with very silky tannins. It is pleasant and a good wine to drink, but you can find just as good wines for less money in Bordeaux.

Review and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC H. Published on 04/23/2017
Worthy of its name. Not perfect, but undoubtedly not far off and certainly capable of achieving it. Satisfactory value for money.
