"Blackcurrant, blueberry, plum, and violet on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins. A delicious core of blue fruit in the center and a juicy finish. Easy to drink. Enjoy now." (James Suckling).

About the estate:

Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic estate in Faugères in 2017. The wines we tasted for this edition are the last examples of the transition between Jean-Michel Alquier and the new owners. The couple's goal? To perpetuate the style of the estate, whose vineyard is 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 remain attentive to this new turning point.
