"Blackcurrants, blueberries, plums and violets on the nose that carries through to a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins. A succulent core of blue fruit in the center and a juicy finish. Good drinkability. Drink now. (James Suckling).

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.
