Domaine Bardi d'Alquier

A wind of renewal is blowing through the Alquier estate, which for some years has been in the process of being passed on. Jean-Michel Alquier, famous Languedoc winemaker and leading figure in Faugères, passed the torch in 2017 to Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou. Now renamed Bardi d'Alquier in homage to this great Languedoc figure, the estate is now run by Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou, who continue Jean-Michel Alquier's work, respecting traditions, as close to the terroir as possible, with the most natural cultivation possible, while adding their own personal touch.

Located in the Faugères appellation area, in the Languedoc region, Domaine Bardi d'Alquier comprises 12 hectares of vines, almost all dedicated to the production of red wines (10 hectares), on schistose soils, mainly on hillsides. The majority of the vineyard is planted with Syrah for impressive aromatics, complemented by Grenache Noir for finesse and elegance, and Mourvèdre for final complexity. White grape varieties account for 2 hectares of the vineyard, with Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Sauvignon.

These wines are as delicious as ever, combining finesse, complexity and expression of the Faugères terroir. A must in Faugères.
