Château Faizeau

Château Faizeau

AOP MONTAGNE SAINT-EMILION

Faizeau means petite faize (little faize) after the Benedictine Abbey of Faize situated near the estate which, among other things, owned vines in Pauillac and Saint-Émilion. Built on the slopes of the Tertre de Calon, the highest point in the Libourne area, the Château is one of the oldest winemaking terroirs in the Bordeaux region. Indeed, it was already included on Belleyme’s map in the 18th century.

The Château Faizeau vineyard is of very high quality and benefits from a magnificent terroir. Situated on a plateau running east to west, it enjoys long periods of sunshine throughout the day and a clay and limestone terroir with windblown sand here and there.
