La Fleur Saint Bonnet

Located in the heart of the Médoc, Vignoble Faget stretches along the banks of the Gironde estuary, in the communes of Saint-Christoly-Médoc, Couquèques and Valeyrac. Fabien and Amélie Faget, who also own a Domaine in the Gers (Domaine Les 4 Cygnes), acquired the property in 2016.

Since then, they have worked to reveal the typicity of this terroir through their wine. Concerned about environmental issues, in 2019 they obtained HVE and AREA (Agriculture Respectueuse de l'Environnement en Aquitaine) certifications with the aim of producing great wines while being the least interventionist in practices.

The vines used to make La Fleur Saint-Bonnet were acquired in 2019 in the commune of Saint-Christoly-Médoc. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines, planted on a clay-limestone soil, produce fresh wines with fine tannins on this terroir.

Description La Fleur Saint Bonnet 2019.

With its magnificent ruby color, this wine presents a seductive nose of lightly spiced black fruit aromas. Black cherry, blueberry and blackcurrant blend harmoniously with white pepper. The palate is elegant and well-balanced, with roundness. The tannins are discreet, revealing a fine body that is both fresh and tender. Black fruit aromas carry us through to the gourmet, persistent finish.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
