Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé crafted via agroecology.
Château Petit Faurie de Soutard is a historic Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate located near the medieval village of Saint-Émilion. Spanning 8 hectares of clay-limestone soils, the vineyard is planted with Merlot (65%), Cabernet Franc (30%), and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Originally part of the neighboring Château Soutard, it was separated in 1850. In 2017, the estate was acquired by the French insurance group AG2R LA MONDIALE (La Mondiale Grands Crus), reuniting it under the same ownership as Château Soutard. Today, the estate is managed with a strong commitment to agroecology and biodiversity, producing elegant, precise, and terroir-driven red wines aged in French oak barrels for 14 to 18 months.
