Jean-Michel Alquier's Faugères rosé has a very pale, almost translucent color. It expresses aromas of fresh fruit with a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it's as round, smooth and refined as his other cuvées. A fresh, thirst-quenching wine!

About the domain :

Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic Faugères estate in 2017. The wines we tasted for this edition are the latest witnesses to the transition from Jean-Michel Alquier to the new owners. The couple's aim? To perpetuate the style of the house, whose vineyards are dominated by old syrahs from massal selections (among the first planted in Languedoc in the 1960s by Jean-Michel Alquier's father, Gilbert), complemented by mourvèdre and grenache. We're keeping a close eye on this new development.
