Château Jean Faure, 2019

Less than 100 meters from Château Cheval Blanc, bordered on its left side by Château La Dominique, and behind by Château l’Evangile, the 18-hectare square vineyard forms a magic enclave, where nature has once again taken the stage.

Château Jean Faure shares with its most prestigious peers, the force offered by clay-laden terroirs, where Cabernet Franc draws exceptional energy.

Situated in the heart of the mythical terroir of the first great classified growths, Château Jean Faure’s continuous 18-hectare vineyard is encroached in a magnificent clay terroir, from which cabernet franc draws incredible energy. The practice of a certified organic viticulture - and a conversion toward a biodynamic process - stems from the will to respect the soils, the vines, and the people who with them.

Vatting: Concrete and wooden vats, without sulfites.
Ageing: 35% new oak barrel, 30% 1-year-old-barrel,
20% concrete vats et 15% in 12hl casks
