Château Tour Grand Faurie – Magnum Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
Château Tour Grand Faurie Magnum is a red cuvée from our family estate in Saint-Émilion. Presented in Magnum format, this wine brings extra elegance to the table and is perfectly suited to grand meals, moments of sharing and special occasions.
This cuvée is made from grapes carefully selected on our finest plots. The harvest is carried out by hand, with meticulous sorting so that only the very best grapes are kept. The iron-rich sand, clay-limestone and clay-silt soils give the wine structure, depth and cellaring potential.
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, Château Tour Grand Faurie Magnum develops a beautiful aromatic complexity. It reveals notes of ripe red fruit, blackcurrant and cherry, alongside delicately woody, toasted, vanilla and spicy nuances.
On the palate, this cuvée offers lovely breadth, a balanced tannic structure and a long, lingering finish. The Magnum format encourages a slower evolution of the wine, ideal for cellaring and for tastings at large gatherings.
