Jean-Michel Alquier's Faugères rosé has a very pale, almost translucent color. It offers aromas of fresh fruit with a subtle floral note. On the palate, it is round, smooth, and refined, much like his other wines. A fresh and refreshing wine!

About the estate:

Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic Faugères estate in 2017. The wines we tasted for this issue are the last vestiges of the transition from Jean-Michel Alquier to the new owners. The couple’s goal? To preserve the estate’s signature style, whose vineyards are dominated by old Syrah vines 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 will be keeping a close eye on this new chapter.
