Planted on soils with a high density of sandstone schist, the southern grape varieties (Mourvèdre, Syrah, Grenache) deliver ripe, spicy aromas that are charming and deep. The palate is smooth and elegant, with superb length and notes of cocoa, licorice, coffee, and red fruit. Southern at heart!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2018 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious production, recommendable, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About wine:
A full-bodied wine, silky and velvety, broader than long, very ripe for the vintage.
About the estate:
This property made Faugères great in the 1990s, before being taken over by Julien Seydoux, who came here with the modesty to learn about the terroir and the desire to bring Les Estanilles back to the forefront. The wines are gradually adapting to the raw materials and still have room for improvement. The reds are powerful and flavorful, wines with strong personalities.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
In 2009, self-taught Julien Seydoux bought this 44-hectare estate, which is run organically and produces some truly remarkable Faugères wines. A sure bet.

Still a long way to go before reaching the level of the former owner.

A beautiful material, but the whole thing is very austere and lacks richness. Seems closed tight.
