The combination of passionate, hard-working owner Olivier Decelle and talented winemaking consultant Stephane Derenoncourt is a good one, as the steadily increasing quality of this estate's wine attests. Location doesn't hurt either: Jean Faure is situated just to the east of Cheval Blanc and La Dominique; its blend is very similar to that of Cheval, and its soils most closely resemble those of La Dominique. You can understand why famous Left Bank enologist Jacques Boissenot once told Decelle that Jean Faure was the last true jewel still available for sale in Saint-Emilion. "Boissenot never ventures out on a limb like that," Decelle told me, "so I thought I better get moving, and I bought the estate."
