The creation of Chateau Jean-Faure dates back to 1763, but the property remained obscure until it was purchased by Olivier Decelle in 2004, beginning the modern era for the estate (Decelle also owns Chateau Haut Maurac in the Medoc and Mas Amiel in the Rhone). The grapes planted here are somewhat unusual for a right-bank estate: with 50% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec (45% Merlot), it has one of the largest concentrations of these two grapes in the entire Bordeaux region. Another unusual note: the grapes here are whole-berry fermented and a portion of the Malbec is whole-bunch fermented, stems included. This 2019 is considered one of their best recent vintages, and the wine is best enjoyed in its first 3-12 years of its life. This 2019 offers a complex set of aromatics but is even better on the palate, with a silky texture and a myriad of spicy red and black fruits, licorice and herbs on the finish.
