Delightful black currant and plum fruit has a gently steeped profile, picking up light anise, tobacco and singed juniper notes for background and length. Drink now through 2023. 4,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.

Located in the small commune of Sainte Radegonde, former wine barrel cooper, Pascal Collotte knows a thing or two about "hand craft" and attention to detail. That's why it took him years to find the perfect property in 2002 at Chateau Jean Faux. The park like setting of the property is an estate with a lot of history dating back to the 18th century. Pascal does everything right at his property, from organic farming, green harvest and manual harvest in crates.Cement and stainless steel tanks , cold prefermentation maceration. Aged for 12 to 14 months in 100% French oak, 50% new.

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

The 2015 Jean Faux wraps around the palate with notable depth and intensity. Silky, sumptuous and forward, the 2015 offers striking intensity to match its unctuous, inviting personality. Succulent black cherry, plum, violets, mint and lavender add the closing shades of nuance- Vinous, Antonio Galloni.
