Château Jean Faure is located in the illustrious Saint-Émilion region of Bordeaux, just a stones throw from Château Cheval Blanc. Part visionary, part taskmaster and 100% dedicated to world class Bordeaux, Olivier Decelle has in a few short years transformed the long neglected estate of Jean Faure to Grand Cru Classé status. History counts for a lot in the world of French wine. The 1855 classification of Left Bank Châteaux remains an integral part of the Bordeaux culture today. Château Jean Faure was originally a well-respected Grand Cru Classé, but it was dropped from the classification in 1986 until under the ownership of Olivier Decelle it regained the Grand Cru Classe appellation in 2012.
