An excellent 2010 vintage from the Pomerol appellation
The property
Founded in 2009, Château Fayat is the result of the merger of three properties: Prieurs de la Commanderie, La Commanderie de Mazeyres and Vieux Château Bourgneuf.
The vineyard
The passionate Fayat family conducted a rigorous study of the property's soils in 2016 to ensure optimal management of its vineyard, giving birth to great Pomerol wines. Château Fayat oversees a 14-hectare terroir, with 10.35 hectares in production. Spread over 31 plots, the vines, averaging 25 years old, are planted on deep Graves soils composed of sands, silts and clay.
Vinification and aging
Following manual harvesting, the grapes undergo vinification in stainless steel and wooden vats. Aging lasts 12 months in barrels (50% new).
Blend
Merlot, cabernet franc.

Beautiful dark violet color.

The nose is expressive.
Palate
A soft and rich attack precedes a palate with a powerful structure and a sumptuous texture. As the tasting progresses, fruity aromas (ripe cherries, red fruit jam) stretch to a round finish with hints of sweet spices.
