Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, Château Petit Faurie de Soutard is a red wine, produced from a 12-hectare vineyard. The result of a classic Bordeaux blend, this red wine is made from 70% Merlot, typical for the Saint-Émilion area, then 25% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for the remaining portion. Careful and traditional vinification with a long period of maceration to best extract the aromatic components of the vines. At the end of the transformation, the wine matures in wood for around 14 to 16 months, depending on the different plots. Some of the wood, approximately 75%, are new barriques, while the remaining 25% are used barriques. An intense red, the nose is immediately elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit and delicate vegetal nuances. In the mouth, however, this red is appropriately structured but well balanced in all its components. Fruit, alcohol, acidity and tannins are equivalent and none of these components prevails over the others. A wine made for pleasure, this red is at home on any table. Excellent with red meats, grilled or stewed, tasty first courses and medium/long-aged cheeses.
