This extraordinary St.-Emilion blend—54% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 6% Malbec—echoes the inspiration of neighboring estates Cheval Blanc and Figeac. Vines here are a perfect 40 years old, on average; yields a paltry 38 hl/ha. Aged 18 months in an equal combination of new oak and cement tank.
“Ruby-red. Exotic black raspberry and mocha aromas. Pliant and exotic, with a sweet raspberry flavor already offering considerable appeal. Densely packed...” — Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar

Château Jean Faure St. Emilion 2007

Blackberry jam and incense shows on the aromatic nose, plus the unmistakable note of violets from the estate's older-vine Cabernet Franc. We love the texture of this wine—silky, elegant and very long in the mouth. An approximate blend of half-and half Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with a touch of Malbec.
