"A delicious, textured and balanced Faugères, with notes of spiced cherries, grilled herbs, undergrowth, pebbles and a touch of dried meat. It's medium-bodied, with finely grained tannins and a velvety texture. The cherry character is lovely, and herbs and spices mingle on the savory finish. Drink it or keep it." (James Suckling)

Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Maison Jaune is fresher, greedier and well-extracted. The carignan gives it its radiance, its slightly smoky perfumes, its notes of soot under a ripe red fruit.
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.
