Wine Press Ratings

93-94 Points - James Suckling

"A dense and linear fruit. Gorgeous already."

91-93 Points - Robert Parker

"The 2016 Jean Faure has a very attractive [...]. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very well judged acidity, layers of crisp black and red fruit with fine mineral tension towards the finish. That's the best Jean Faure that I have tasted at primeur."

Blend: 50% Cabernet Franc | 45% Merlot | 5% Malbec

About the Producer

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.
