Château Faurie de Souchard: Tasting & Drinking
Prior to the unification of these two properties, the style at Château Faurie de Souchard mirrored that at Château Dassault. This was perhaps unsurprising, considering the fact that the same team worked across both these domaines, as well as the third Dassault property Château La Fleur (in St Emilion, not the similarly-named estate in Pomerol). So what we had here is a wine that tended towards a certain style, with a plush and voluminous palate, filled with rather obvious black plum and damson character, but sometimes also marked by touches of baked fruit. In addition this occasionally came with a wealth of tannin, and if I were asked to pigeon-hole it I would have had to place it among the more modern styles found in St Emilion today.
