Château JEAN FAURE 2019 SAINT EMILION GRAND CRU CLASS
A historic premier cru, appearing in the middle of the 18th century on the first cartography of the great Bordeaux terroirs, Château Jean Faure has survived the ages with consistency. Formerly attached to Figeac, Jean Faure has not changed in area since the beginning of the 19th century.
Château Jean Faure claims more than 50% Cabernet-franc. Unique grape variety in Saint-Émilion but very close to that of the mythical vintages of Cheval Blanc and Figeac. This composition: 50% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot and 5% Malbec inclines the cru towards elegance and freshness.
Historic 18 hectare vineyard, CHÂTEAU JEAN FAURE is rooted in a magnificent terroir of clay and iron dross composed of a dominant Cabernet Franc (50%). Xavier Choné, Agricultural engineer and Doctor of Oenology, carried out a large-scale pedological study on the soil of Château Jean Faure by having 30 surveys carried out. It summarizes the geology and the relief of the vineyard of Château Jean Faure: “80% of the surface of the vineyard of Château Jean Faure presents a very clayey subsoil which appears from 30 to 100 cm in depth. The roots can go down to 150 to 200 cm deep.
Le Clos de l'Oratoire, perched on the north-eastern hillside of Saint-Émilion, extends over approximately 13 hectares. Its Fronsac molasse terroir, composed of a sandy layer resting on a clay subsoil, offers ideal conditions for Merlot, which dominates 80% of its plantation.
Careful attention is paid throughout the year to preserve the integrity of this vineyard.
Vinification takes place exclusively in thermoregulated wooden vats. The wood, in perfect symbiosis with the wine, allows it to fully reveal its qualities in terms of color and flavor.
Each vat is treated in a specific way, with controlled temperatures and delicate pumping over, with a constant concern to respect the grapes and their potential.
The name of DEspagne is attached to the land of Saint-Émilion; there are documents showing the presence of the Despaignes in the XNUMXthth and XIVth century.
Today the seventh generation of the same family represented by François DEspagne runs this cru and perpetuates with respect these values inherited.
Located north of the Saint-Emilion appellation, bordering Pomerol, the vineyard of Château Grand Corbin-DEspagne is found on two main types of soil: clay-sandy-siliceous with iron grime and ancient superficial sands on compact blue clays.
Petit Corbin-DEspagne is a selection of lots from vines between 10 and 20 years old.

Located at the foot of the hill south of the medieval village of Saint-Emilion, the terroir is made up of clay-limestone and clay-sandy soils.
The grape variety has an atypical structure with regard to the appellation, characterized by a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet. On this terroir, maturation takes place very early, the Cabernets blossom in a remarkable way, the Merlots a power and an aromatic complexity which underpin the natural elegance and finesse of the wines of Canon La Gaffelière.
La Mauriane is not a domain or castle name, it is from different selected plots from Château Rigaud, a well-known terroir of the Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion appellation.
Pierre Taix launched this wine with the 1997 vintage.
These are 2 plots, i.e. 4,33 hectares – 75% of Merlot et 25% of cabernet franc -
