Château Jean Faure – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Grand Cru Classé

The nose presents fine concentration, a very finely powdery grain, fine smokiness and some spices. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, sweet pepper and small notes of infusion and black tea, associated with touches of small fairly ripe fruits, a hint of graphene and cardamom. The palate is beautifully fruity, juicy, supple, velvety, melodious, gourmand and offers a spherical side to its fruit. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, fleshy/juicy cherry and small notes of brilliant raspberry, combined with touches of cornflower, lilac, as well as a hint of plum blossom, infusion, discreet hints of graphene, bourbon vanilla and sweet tobacco. Discreetly powdery tannins. Good length. A wine offering lovely purity and brilliance.
