CHÂTEAU TOUR D’HORABLE

I joined the family estate in 2008 with my wife, Adeline, and together we founded EARL Vignobles Faytout to preserve a family expertise built over five generations. The vineyards of Château Tour d’Horable belonged to my grandfather, who came from a family of coopers. It is a true family story. Together, we craft expressive and authentic wines that reflect both our values and our terroir.

Deep colour. The powerful nose combines intense fruit aromas with delicate notes of caramel and vanilla. The palate is precise, with firm tannins and flavours of crushed blackcurrant. Delicate yet powerful, the wine is refined, elegant and beautifully structured.
