Château Faurie de Souchard

Château Petit Faurie de Soutard is located on the Saint-Emilion plateau and extends over the northern side of the appellation. Its total area is about seven hectares, part of the AOC Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. Here it is Merlot that is almost the absolute protagonist, with Cabernet Franc and small parts of Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvesting is by hand, while work in the vineyard is carried out using 'animal traction', operated by horses and experienced drivers. Vineyard management then follows the principles of 'agroecology', a systemic approach based on the interaction between living beings and their habitats. This approach, since 2017, has been chosen to best address the challenges of global warming, soil deterioration and reduced biodiversity.
