Château Jean Faure

Château Jean Faure, in Saint-Emilion near Bordeaux, is owned by Olivier Decelle, a true enthusiast for vines and wine. In 1999, he took over the destiny of the remarkable Mas Amiel estate (Roussillon), making it an undisputed success and a world-renowned name. A few years later, this passion led him to the Bordeaux region, where he took over three estates with prestigious pasts: Château Jean Faure, Château Haut-Maurac and Château Haut-Ballet, located in some of the finest terroirs on Bordeaux's right and left banks. Château Jean Faure is now a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation wine.

An in-depth reorganization, unfailing rigor in the cellars and vineyards, and the talent of their new owner, surrounded by a team of passionate people, have restored these estates, and Château Jean Faure in particular, to their former splendors. The entire vineyard is run using sustainable agriculture methods. Leaf thinning, de-budding, green harvesting and tillage between the rows of vines are used to ensure optimum yields and grape quality worthy of these prodigious Bordeaux terroirs.
