Tasting Notes:

Château Petit-Faurie-Quet Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a remarkable red blend crafted predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The wine exhibits a bright ruby-red hue with garnet highlights. On the nose, it reveals concentrated aromas of red berries, complemented by nuances of vanilla, fig, and prune from oak aging. The palate is generous and full-bodied, with a robust structure. Youthful tannins provide a firm backbone, softening over time to reveal a rounded, supple finish.
