Among Bordeaux’s major names, Château Jean Faure draws its roots from the same soils as the greatest classified growths of Saint-Émilion. On the edge of Pomerol, the estate, firmly anchored in its clay soils, calmly asserts a refined and distinctive character.

Just a few steps from Château Cheval Blanc, bordered by Château La Dominique and Château L’Évangile, the vineyard of Château Jean Faure stretches across 18 hectares like a carefully preserved secret, where nature expresses itself freely.

In the depth of its clay soils, Cabernet Franc establishes itself naturally, accounting for 65% of the vineyard plantings — a rare and historic signature that has remained unmatched among the classified growths for more than a century.

Underpinned by perfectly preserved well-ripened fruit, Château Jean Faure confidently unfolds a slender and sophisticated structure, studded with freshness, supported by just the right amount of relief and energy.

In its youth, this wine reveals a structure that is both powerful and refined, with firm tannins, generous texture, and vibrant fruit marked by intense floral and dark berry notes. With time, these elements integrate beautifully, allowing the wine to evolve with grace and precision. Through carefully balanced ageing, it gradually expresses its full refinement and elegance

Organic farming is a discipline of high standards, and under these oceanic skies, a path that demands both consistency and imagination.
Yet it was this demanding course that Olivier Decelle chose from his very first steps in the vineyard.
