Tasting note
A blend of 65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Jean Faure is superb, revealing aromas of cassis, mulberries, lead pencil, dark tea and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, it is lively and harmonious, built around a delicately structured palate that is impeccably balanced, concluding with a long, saline and perfumed finish. In this vintage, it stands as a compelling testament to the virtues of Cabernet Franc.

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.
