Château Jean Faure - St.Emilion 2017

[Robert.A.Jr]

@Vince_T

Thanks for the note Julian. Just picked up a few bottles of the 2019 on close out ($36) here in the US at K&L. “Only” 65% Cab Franc but hopefully it’s as nice as your 2017. Interesting note from WK on the background of this wine:

As a result of a bitter divorce, Jean Faure wasn’t replanted to Merlot like so many Saint-Émilion estates were in the 1950s and '60s, so old-vine Cabernet Franc dominates—and is now the source of a massale selection.

Awesome Vince, thanks for the heads up that KNL has this, I just grabbed some myself. And thanks to @Julian_Marshall for bringing this little Cabernet franc gem to our attention!
