Chateau Jean Faux Les Sources Bordeaux
These are our steak wines – our fullest bodied red wines for those who prefer a little oomph in their glass. From Cabernet Sauvignon to Petite Verdot, from Bordeaux to the Napa Valley, these wines don’t pull any punches!
Château Jean Faux was purchased by Pascal Callotte in 2002. Callotte had worked for Tonnellerie Saury, a producer of wine barrels and casks. His consultant winemaker is Stéphane Derenoncourt, who has worked for prestigious Bordeaux estates such as Domaine de Chevalier, Clos Fourtet, Clos de l'Oratoire, Smith Haut Lafitte, and in California for Francis Ford Coppola’s Rubicon Estate Winery. After buying Château Jean Faux, they immediately set out to fully renovate the winery and its vineyards, which are now fully organic.
Bordeaux Supérieur "Les Sources" is made from a blend of biodynamic farmed Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium bodied on the palate with fine grained tannins, it has tightly framed notes of red currants, menthol, pencil shavings, and capsicum.
