Chateau Fayat 2016

The finesse and smoothness of a red wine from Pomerol

The estate

Founded in 2009, Château Fayat is the result of the merger between three properties: Prieurs de la Commanderie, La Commanderie de Mazeyres and Vieux Château Bourgneuf. The Fayat family are passionate about their work and carried out a rigorous study of the property's soils in 2016, in order to ensure the ideal management of their vineyard.

The vineyard

Château Fayat produces Pomerol wines from an 11-hectare terroir. The vines are 50 years old on average and are planted on deep Graves with brown soils composed of sand, silt and clay.

Vinification and ageing

Following the harvest, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 12 months in barrels (50% new, 50% second-fill barrels).

The blend

Château Fayat 2016 comprises a blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
