Jean Faure La Réserve 2022, Saint-Emilion

Château Jean Faure, a great classified growth,
organic viticulture certified
Situated in the heart of the mythical terroir of the first great classified
growths (Cheval Blanc, Figeac), Château Jean Faure’s continuous
18-hectare vineyard is encroached in a magnificent clay terroir,
from which its 65% of Cabernet Franc draws incredible energy. The
practice of a certified organic viticulture (since 2017) stems from
the will to respect the soils, the vines, and the people who work
with them. Using biodynamic practices for many years, Château
Jean Faure is entering its last year of conversion (Biodyvin) with the
2022 vintage.
La Réserve, Jean Faure’s second label
The grapes grown through organic viticulture at Chateau Jean
Faure are selected and specially vinified by infusion to make “La
Réserve”, a wine built on freshness and the vibrance of the fruit.
