Château Petit-Faurie-de-Soutard

The winery is located in the town of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). It should not be confused with the neighbouring Château Faurie-de-Souchard. Faurie is an old name for the area where a major battle took place during the Hundred Years' War (1337 to 1453). It used to be part of the neighbouring Château Soutard, from which it was separated in 1850. The estate belonged to the Corbière family until 1936, when it was sold to the Aberlen couple. In 1964, their daughter Françoise married Jacques Capdemourlin, owner of Château Balestard La Tonnelle, Château Cap-de-Mourlin and Château Roudier. The estate is classified as a Grand Cru Classé, which was last confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover eight hectares of Merlot (65%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). The long-lasting red wine matures for 15 to 18 months in 50% new barriques.
