"A harmonious and refined ensemble, carried by a mineral sparkle."
"Les Vignes du Puits, a trio combining vibrant Grenache with fleshy Roussanne and floral Marsanne, is a rich, floral, and fresh wine, displaying the generosity of Languedoc whites, finishing with a hint of bitterness and no acidity." (Le Guide RVF 2026).

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.

About wine:
Delicious, precise, and inspired, it reveals aromas of yellow plums, white flowers, and hints of cedar. Medium-bodied, it has a beautiful structure. The palate is well-structured, almost spicy, with a dense and persistent finish. Drink now or keep.
