Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The Grenache grown on schist gives Maison Jaune a distinctive finesse, blending notes of fruit, cherry, heather blossoms, thyme, and rockrose.

About the estate:

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

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Flavorful and smoky, with aromas of tobacco, a cigar box, olives, and pomegranate on the nose. It is full-bodied, with chalky tannins. Well-concentrated. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.
