Tasting note
Incorporating fully 65% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Jean Faure has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with complex aromas of raspberries and plums mingled with rose petals, violets and crushed mint. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a dense, almost unctuous core of ripe, lively fruit that's underpinned by ultra-refined tannins, this is the finest Jean Faure bottled to date.

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.
