Château Tour Grand Faurie

Our history.

FAMILY HISTORY IN PICTURES OF THE CHÂTEAU TOUR GRAND FAURIE

The Feytit family have owned this property since 1949. It is situated two kilometres from the village of Saint-Emilion.

Our great-grandparents were farm laborers who took much care and courage to look after their property.

FROM 1929 TO 1935

Our ancestor’s name was PIERRE FEYTIT. At the beginning of the 20th century, he bought 2 ha of Saint-Emilion at the ‘lieu-dit’ called Petit Val. His employer, in recognition of his qualities as a devoted employee, gave him 1 ha 25 ca from Saint-Georges-Saint-Emilion at  ‘Divon’.

FROM 1935 TO 1938

As the years passed, our great-grandparents had three sons: Roger, Jean René and Gérard. The latter, our grandfather Gérard, inherited in 1936 2 ha of vines in Saint-Emilion and 1 ha of meadows that was left to him by his brothers. He took care of them with his wife Elisabeth.

DURING THE CONFLICT

GRANDFATHER'S RETURN

FROM 1965 TO 1969

The children grew up and Jean married Georgette in 1965.

In 1969 our parents bought 3 ha in Saint-Emilion at “CABANES SUD” – the property continued to grow.

BIRTH OF FRANCK AND ISABELLE

Franck was born in 1967 and Isabelle in 1975.

FROM 1973 TO 1990

FROM 1999 TO TODAY

In 1999, Isabelle and Franck became partners in a S.C.E.A. (Agricultural Company) to continue to run the family property. They also opened a shop in Saint-Emilion (which they operate as a Limited Liability Company -SARL), in order to promote their own wine, those of the family, other Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé, Premier Grand Cru Classé and Pomerol wines. In 2000, as young farmers (‘jeunes agriculteurs’), they acquired 1 ha 20 of land in the Saint-Emilion appellation, at Bournaud in Saint-Christophe des Bardes. Here they built a cellar for the storage of their wine. They are members of ‘Vignerons Indpendents’ – a group of Independent Winegrowers of France. In 2009, they began the renovation of the “FAURIE” house, facelifting the facade and restoring the lighting, with the aim of improving the property for receiving visitors.

CHATEAU TOUR GRAND FAURIE

Saint-emilion, bordeaux.

The property was originally owned by the Dusseault family and was called “Clos Grand Faurie.” Pierre Feytit was an employee there and bought his first five acres in Saint-Emilion. At that time, the Dusseault family donated 3 acres to Pierre in Saint-George-Saint-Emilion to thank him for his hard work and devotion. Pierre and his wife had three sons. The youngest, Gerard, inherited 5 acres of Saint-Emilion in 1936 and 2.47 of unseeded land that his brothers gave him. His wife Sylvaine and he worked and planted these vineyards. In 1939, Pierre served in the 2nd world war, leaving his wife with two young children. Sylvaine tended to 7.4 acres of vine and the sale of the wine production allowed her to buy another acre adjacent to the existing vineyard. Since then, the property has grown with each new generation, inheriting and purchasing more plots. In 1999, Isabelle Feytit and her brother Franck partnered and now operate 35 acres in Saint-Emilion and 3 acres in Saint-Georges Saint-Emilion. The vines are over 40 years old on average and some reach over 100 years. The soil is sandy with iron subsoil. 

Saint-Émilion benefits from a temperate, oceanic micro-climate with evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year and hot, dry summers, under the influence of the two rivers Isle and Dordogne. They moderate the summer heat as well as the harshness of winter, thus providing protection against the risk of frost. The average yearly temperature is 12.8°C. Temperature swings are lessened. The evenly distributed rainfall throughout the year provides excellent conditions for vine cultivation. A wide variety of quality soils have developed on two geological formations that have given the region a characteristic relief: from the tertiary era (silty clay, very often calcareous) and the quaternary era (gravel and/or sand). The nature of the soil and subsoil, the relief, the exposure, the water and nitrogen supply influence the early maturity of the vines and the level of ripeness of the grapes. This mosaic of soils and subsoils explains the wines with a variety of personalities according to their terroir of origin.  Indeed, the soil and more particularly the subsoil on which the vine is grown influence three aspects of the wine: its aromas, its color and its gustatory properties. The same grape variety, depending on whether it is grown on a particular type of soil, will not have the same organoleptic characteristics.  Furthermore, the variation in temperature and rainfall from one year to the next can be considerable, making vintages very different.  Chateau Tour Grand Faurie vineyards are located on red and brown clay on limestone.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
