Château Faurie de Souchard is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, renowned for its elegance and freshness. Situated on clay-limestone soils, the estate primarily cultivates Merlot (70%), complemented by Cabernet Franc (25%) and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). This blend is typical of the Saint-Émilion appellation and gives the wines a lovely tannic structure and natural freshness, much appreciated during hot summers. Faurie de Souchard’s wines are distinguished by their balance between roundness and freshness, with fine tannins and a powerful finish. They offer aromas of black fruit and spices, and sometimes toasty or tobacco notes, depending on the vintage. The estate, now run by the Sciard family, focuses on total quality, from the vineyard to winemaking, relying on traditional methods and rigorous plot-by-plot monitoring. In summary, Faurie de Souchard is a structured, elegant and fresh wine, ideal for pairing with red meat, game or strong cheeses. Its ageing potential makes it an interesting choice for lovers of Bordeaux wines.
