Note di degustazione
A brilliant Saint-Emilion, the 2023 Château Jean Faure offers fresh raspberries, redcurrants, spring flowers, violets, and spicy wood on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, polished, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It should be snatched up by savvy readers and might be the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted. It will keep for two decades. Drink 2026-2046.

The 2023 Jean Faure is classy and refined through and through. Strong Cabernet Franc inflections drive through a core of red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and blood orange. Bright and impeccably focused, Jean Faure has so much to offer. It remains one of the most under-the-radar wines on the Right Bank.
The 2023 Jean Faure, based around 65% Cabernet Franc, has a very refined bouquet. Perhaps compared to other vintages, the Cabernet Franc is less pronounced, with attractive blackberry and strawberry scents, the oak very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with finely spun tannins, and here the Cabernet Franc comes through more strongly. A little savoury on the finish, quite long in terms of persistency, this is a well-crafted Jean-Faure.
A pristine, transparent expression, showing fresh red berries, red plums, hibiscus and fine spices. Medium-bodied on the palate, with precise, chalky tannins and a juicy, fine-boned finish. Long and elegant. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.
