Château Jean Faure St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2021
Owned by Olivier Decelle, this always stands out during En Primeur for its exceptionally high levels of Cabernet Franc, and you get clear sinew and muscular frame, with lemongrass, saffron, oyster shell and crushed rock salinity. Puts the emphasis squarely on austerity, but give it time because there is careful construction here, and a ton of juice, flavoursome with red cherry and raspberry fruits, and white truffle character. Certified organic since 2017, in conversion to biodynamic.
