Note: Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine), Gault Millau 18.5/20
This Grande Cuvée expresses all the grandeur of its terroir. The Syrah grape gives its soul to this Grand Vin, whose finesse, thanks to 13 months of barrel aging, is undeniable. It has all the potential to age beautifully over the years without losing any of its character. A great classic from Faugères!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A serious production, recommendable, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
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.

Excellent wine. My advice: decant it at least two hours beforehand.

A lovely nose but very bitter on the palate, leaving a mixed impression overall. Disappointing given the estate and vintage.
