Château Petit Faurie de Soutard
Château Petit Faurie de Soutard produces wine in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the prestigious appellation at the heart of Bordeaux's Libournais region. The estate's flagship Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) blends Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon—a composition that reflects the right-bank tradition of structure and depth. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have rated the wine at an average of 89.9 points. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru demands time in bottle; these are wines built on the mineral-rich clay and limestone soils that define the appellation, where Merlot ripens fully while Cabernet varieties add backbone and complexity. The blend speaks to the careful calibration required on Bordeaux's right bank, where vintage conditions and site selection determine the final proportion of each grape.
