"Wonderfully floral cherry notes on the nose here - ripe, vibrant and appealing. Such great juicy impact, strawberries, cherries and redcurrants, really just hits the palate with brightness, energy and verve. An approachable style but with lots of layers, great acidity and a cooling menthol undertone. Really enjoyable with underlying power and precision. Excellent."
93 Points - Jane Anson
"Unusual blend with not only high Cabernet Franc but a dash of Malbec. It makes it an atypical St Emilion but a rather lovely one. It's austere, as you might expect, but has real juiciness throughout, and you can feel the flesh of the fruits against the walls of the tannins, with a spicy finish. Look forward to retasting in bottle."
Blend: 65% Cabernet Franc | 60% Merlot | 5% Malbec
About the Producer
ChĂąteau Jean Faure is located in the illustrious Saint-Ămilion region of Bordeaux, just a stones throw from ChĂąteau Cheval Blanc. Part visionary, part taskmaster and 100% dedicated to world class Bordeaux, Olivier Decelle has in a few short years transformed the long neglected estate of Jean Faure to Grand Cru ClassĂ© status. History counts for a lot in the world of French wine. The 1855 classification of Left Bank ChĂąteaux remains an integral part of the Bordeaux culture today. ChĂąteau Jean Faure was originally a well-respected Grand Cru ClassĂ©, but it was dropped from the classification in 1986 until under the ownership of Olivier Decelle it regained the Grand Cru Classe appellation in 2012.
