"Top marks for this absolutely seductive Syrah (majority) vinified as an infusion. Fine, pure, complex, the nose hesitates between black fruits, spices and aromatic herbs. Round and fresh, the wine rolls on greedily with just a hint of tannin, lingering on spices on the finish. A chiselled, delicate and simply delicious Faugères". (Le Guide Hachette 2026).

About the domain :
In 1995, oenologist Laurent Calmel joined forces with Jérôme Joseph to found a trading house specializing in Languedoc-Roussillon terroir wines. The duo launched their label in 2007. He selects the plots, vinifies and ages the cuvées.
