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. Château Tour d’Horable belonged to my grandfather, who was born in a family of coopers (French barrel manufacturers). 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.

The color is deep, the aroma is a delicate combination of caramel, vanilla, and intense fruit. The palate is clean with firm tannins, nuanced with crushed blackcurrant for a long and elegant finish. This is a well-crafted wine.
