Protected designation of origin and Premier Grand Cru in Saint-Émilion
Château Petit Faurie de Soutard (35 km east of Bordeaux) is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé owned by the Capdemourlin family, who also own the Balestard la Tonnelle estate. The château borders the Soutard estate (whose vineyard was once part of Petit Faurie de Soutard’s), as well as Balestard la Tonnelle, Clos de l’Oratoire and Faurie de Souchard. The Capdemourlin family has 8 hectares of vines planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare on clay-limestone slopes and sandy soils at the foot of the hills. The vineyard, farmed using sustainable practices, is around 35 years old and planted with 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate therefore produces no white wine.
Château Petit Faurie de Soutard produces just one red wine—42,000 bottles a year—a rarity in Bordeaux today: the Fine Wine of Petit Faurie de Soutard. Advised by the eminent enologist Michel Rolland, Domaine de Petit Faurie de Soutard is known for producing richly textured wines with intensely extracted fruit and high tannin levels. The fine wine of Petit Faurie de Soutard has aromas of jammy black cherry and earth, wet stone and new oak. It is a powerful, concentrated wine with low acidity and pronounced tannins, especially in the 2000 vintage. This fine wine can be cellared for 5 to 15 years. The best vintages of Château Petit Faurie de Soutard are 2015, 2014, 2010, 2009, 2005, 2001, 2000 and 1998. Lovers of fine Saint-Émilion wines will want to pick up a few bottles from the château, particularly given their excellent value for money.
