Tasting note
A particular success for this Cabernet Franc-dominant estate situated next to Cheval Blanc, the 2020 Jean Faure bursts with aromas of cherries, minty blackberries, rose petals and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's supple and suave, its enveloping core of vibrant fruit concealing sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with an expansive, perfumed finish. This beautiful wine stands out for its perfume and its ultra-refined texture.
This 18-hectare estate occupies an elongated triangle of vineyards next to La Dominique on the Pomerol border. For the most part, there's clay a mere 60 centimeters below the surface, but the tip of the triangle is defined by sandier soils. As a result of a bitter divorce, Jean Faure wasn't replanted to Merlot like so many Saint-Émilion estates were in the 1950s and 1960s, so old-vine Cabernet Franc dominates—and is now the source of a massal selection. Winemaking is gentle, with long but gentle macerations and élevage including foudres as well as barriques.
