I joined the family estate in 2008, founding the company Vignobles Faytout to perpetuate the know-how built up by my family over five generations. A part of my vines were my grandmother’s. But the family tree doesn’t end there: the parents of some of my employees worked with my grandparents. A true family business! The wines we craft together are expressive and authentic, just like our personality and our soils.

Technical informations
Soils of clay-limestone - Sub-soils of limestone – 60-meter high – 30-year-old vines – North-south exposure on top of the slope and east-west on the side of the slope.
Mechanical harvest with integrated sorting at the end of September. The juice is cold-racked. Temperatures are kept at 25 Celsius degrees during alcoholic fermentation with cap-punching for gentle extraction. After fermentation, 3 days at 35 Celsius degrees. Maceration for three weeks and running off. Aged in cement vats with wood input.
90 % Merlot, 9 % Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon
The color is incredibly intense due to slow, well-controlled extraction. The rich nose is followed by an excellent palate: powerful, dense, and well-balanced with great sweetness. A a well-made wine from the vineyard to the bottle.
