“A truly lovely Faugères with a unique character, for the most discerning wine lovers”
“A beautiful bouquet and a full-bodied palate. The wine is intense, yet the palate is soft, with lively fruit notes combined with the scent of garrigue flowers. Delicate citrus notes and a zesty citrus finish.” (La RVF Issue 690 – May 2025).

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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
An appealing, balanced, and refined white wine. The nose offers aromas of lemon, pear, dried herbs, and a hint of fennel. Medium-bodied with moderate acidity. Attractive fruit and a pleasant finish. Ready to drink now.

Review by Mr. LAURENT V. Posted on 10/28/2025
aroma of dried flowers, distinct bitter notes on the palate, pairs well with fish (sea bream, sea bass), perfect with langoustines
