“Alongside Cheval Blanc, this is the freshest and most distinguished wine from the northwestern sector of Saint-Émilion in 2015. The alcohol remains very restrained in this slender profile. Both floral and earthy, the flavor is dominated by the taut expression of the old Cabernet Franc vines. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2018 - RVF) Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 1 bottle of this wine

About the wine:
Alongside Cheval Blanc, this is the freshest and most distinguished wine from the northwestern sector of Saint-Émilion in 2015. The alcohol remains very restrained in this slender, elegant wine. Both floral and earthy, the flavor is dominated by the taut expression of the old Cabernet Franc vines.
About the estate:
Ideally situated between Cheval-Blanc, La Dominique, and Ripeau, Château Jean-Faure was acquired in 2004 by Olivier Decelle, who also owns Mas Amiel in Roussillon and a stake in the young Nuit-Saint-Georges wine merchant, Decelle-Villa. Thoroughly reimagined, Jean-Faure reveals, vintage after vintage, striking and exciting similarities to the Pomerol style of Cheval-Blanc, without being a mere copy. For Jean-Faure explores, with its Cabernets, a "Pinot-like" fruitiness that is uniquely its own. This evolution was only possible by focusing the estate’s efforts on significant agronomic improvements. Cabernet Franc is no longer considered here as a blending component but is regarded as the heart of the wine.
