The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An ultra-confidential estate of just 7 hectares, this discreet Saint-Émilion property has seen an extraordinary revival since 2017. With fresh ambition and a new vision, it has launched major agroforestry initiatives to bring nature and biodiversity back to the heart of the vineyard.
Wine The 2020 Petit Faurie de Soutard Red comes from an exceptional terroir on the heights of Saint-Émilion. In this vintage, the estate has produced a wine of remarkable class, perfectly balancing controlled power with refined aromatics. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon shows rare elegance: a floral nose layered with fresh dark fruit, hints of chalk and spice, and a focused, vibrant palate. Silky tannins lead to a saline finish of impressive length.
Vinification Hand harvested, vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, malolactic fermentation and aging in barrels (50% new and 50% one-wine barrels).
