Château Tour Grand Faurie Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Bordeaux 2015
Winemaker Notes:
The property was originally owned by the Dusseault family and was called “Clos Grand Faurie.” Pierre Feytit was an employee there and bought his first five acres in Saint-Emilion. At that time, the Dusseault family donated 3 acres to Pierre in Saint-George-Saint-Emilion to thank him for his hard work and devotion. Pierre and his wife had three sons. The youngest, Gerard, inherited 5 acres of Saint-Emilion in 1936 and 2.47 of unseeded land that his brothers gave him. His wife Sylvaine and he worked and planted these vineyards.
In 1939, Pierre served in the 2nd world war, leaving his wife with two young children. Sylvaine tended to 7.4 acres of vine and the sale of the wine production allowed her to buy another acre adjacent to the existing vineyard. Since then, the property has grown with each new generation, inheriting and purchasing more plots.
In 1999, Isabelle Feytit and her brother Franck partnered and now operate 35 acres in Saint-Emilion and 3 acres in Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion. The vines are over 40 years old on average and some reach over 100 years. The soil is sandy with iron subsoil.
Responsible farming, manual sorting, destemming, pressing and fermentation directly in new oak barrels. Each parcel is vinified separately. Malolactic and alcohol fermentations occur in thermoregulated cement tanks. After fermentation process, they select the juice that will be used for the Grand Cru wine. It is then separated into parts, one aging in an old wooden vat (70%) and one in new oak barrels (30%) for 18 months. The two parts are then blended together and estate bottled. Unfiltered and no clarification.
Grape Varieties: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
Points:
91 - Wine Enthusiast
"Still young, this ripe Merlot-dominated wine is packed with dark plum and rich damson fruit flavors. They balance the serious amount of wood influence that gives it its spice and potential for aging. Drink from 2023."
