Magnificent creaminess with a hint of warmth, bewitching black and red fruits. Freshness follows with a pinch of spice. Fine, tight, deep and round.

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

An interesting blend, an elegant 2010 with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, espresso and vanilla. The wine is supple, round, medium-bodied and at its best over the next 7-8 years.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16.5/20 (Very good wine)

Estate rated (2018 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Without harshness, the 2010 develops a long, lingering structure with fine notes of blackcurrant and smoky tobacco. The greatest vintage in the château's history.

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.

A wine with very silky tannins. It's pleasant and a good wine to drink, but you can find just as good for less in Bordeaux.

Worthy of its appellation. Not perfection, but certainly not far off and certainly capable of achieving it. Satisfactory value for money.
