Chateau Jean Faure
Chateau Jean Faure’s history as a winegrowing estate dates back to the 16th century. It is named after its owner Jehan Faure, who at the time was a resident of Saint-Emilion and a member of the town council of Libourne. Jean Faure’s great terroir is first and foremost a historic terroir, a property anchored to its territory for close to 600 years and only belonging to six families during this period.
Description
The palate is quite perfumed, quite direct, with more of the red plum and red cherry fruit seen on the nose, touched with a little tobacco barrel spice, and underpinned by a firm seam of tannin. Indeed there is a lot of tannin here, ripe and a little chewy in style, the structure coming in through the mid palate and continuing on into the finish. This is fresh, quite pointed and quite precise in style, with a long tannic grip. It has promise.
