Château Tour Grand Faurie is a family estate located 2 km north of the village of Saint-Émilion, in the Bordeaux wine region. Owned by the Feytit family since 1949, the estate extends over 16.5 hectares of vines on the clay-limestone hillsides of the appellation. The estate's wines, crafted from Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Malbec (5%), are vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Since 2021, the estate has been converting to organic viticulture, achieving certification in September 2024. Isabelle Feytit-Foliot and Franck Feytit continue the four-generation family tradition today.

L'histoire du domaine

The family story begins in the early 20^th century, when Pierre Feytit, a devoted farm labourer on the 'Clos Grand Faurie' estate owned by the Dusseaut family, acquired his first parcels: 2 hectares at the lieu-dit Petit Val in Saint-Émilion, and 1.25 hectares gifted by his employer in recognition of his dedication at Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion. In 1936, his son Gérard inherited 2 hectares of vines which he cultivated with his wife Sylvaine, despite the war that separated him from his family for several years. On his return, he found a vineyard preserved by his wife, who had even expanded the estate with the revenues from wine sales. In 1949, Gérard and Sylvaine purchased 'Grand Faurie' — the current house, the cellar and 4 hectares of vines at Carbonneyre — thus laying the cornerstone of the family enterprise. Their son Jean married Georgette in 1965, and together they continued expanding: 3 hectares at Cabanes Sud in 1969, an inheritance of 3.48 hectares at Grand-Treuil in 1973, then 1.25 hectares at Lagarde in 1990. In 1999, their children Isabelle and Franck officially took the reins by creating a SCEA and opened a shop in Saint-Émilion to promote their wines. Since 2021, the estate has been resolutely committed to organic viticulture, certified in September 2024 for the 2024 vintage.

Le terroir

Château Tour Grand Faurie is located 2 km north of the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, on the hillsides of Bordeaux's Right Bank. The vineyard extends over 16.5 hectares, including 14 hectares in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation and 1.25 hectares in Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion. The parcels rest on the characteristic clay-limestone soils of the terroir, with areas of sandy ironpan and clay-silt that give the wines their structure and ageing potential. The average vine age reaches 50 years, ensuring concentration and complexity. Since 2021, the estate has been converting to organic agriculture, culminating in official certification obtained in September 2024. Sustainable viticulture now favours natural methods, without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, with a focus on preserving biodiversity and terroir. Harvesting is carried out by hand, with rigorous grape selection. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months of ageing in French oak barrels, with measured use of new oak to respect the fruit expression.

Les vins

The estate's range is built around the classic Right Bank Bordeaux blend: 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. The Château Tour Grand Faurie, the estate's flagship cuvée in Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, reflects the expression of the clay-limestone terroir with aromas of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant and cherry, supported by a balanced tannic structure acquired during 12 months of barrel ageing. The prestige cuvée L'Efaurie comes from a selection of the finest parcels hand-harvested, with careful vinification and ageing conferring considerable cellaring potential. The Clos Grand Faurie comes from a small parcel of old Merlot vines on clay, aged for extended periods in barrels for wines of finesse and elegance. The estate also produces the Feytit Divon cuvée in the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion appellation. The house style favours aromatic freshness, balance and ageing capacity, with wines that can be enjoyed young while offering fine evolution potential in the cellar.

Le vigneron

Isabelle Feytit-Foliot and her brother Franck Feytit represent the fourth generation of winegrowers from this family deeply rooted in the Saint-Émilion terroir. Officially established in 1999 after creating a SCEA to take over the family estate, they have successfully combined respect for tradition with openness to modernity. Isabelle and Franck have developed wine tourism at the estate, opened a shop in Saint-Émilion to promote their wines and those of other properties in the appellation, and joined the Vignerons Indépendants de France. Their greatest pride lies in the estate's organic conversion, initiated in 2021 and crowned by certification obtained in September 2024 for the 2024 vintage. This approach reflects their conviction that preserving the terroir and biodiversity represents the future path for sustainable viticulture. With their vines averaging 50 years of age, hand-harvested, and their environmentally respectful approach, Isabelle and Franck perpetuate family know-how handed down for over a century, while projecting it towards the future with determination and passion.
