Renamed Vallongue, the former "L'Impertinent" white wine offers a beautiful aromatic intensity of floral notes, white-fleshed fruits, and exotic fruits. A balanced, mineral-driven white on the palate, with notes of gunflint and flint enhanced by a subtle floral hint of verbena and linden, as well as touches of exotic fruits and citrus. Enjoy it now!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

This estate was the pride of Faugères in the 1990s, before being taken over by Julien Seydoux, who arrived here with the humility to learn about the terroir and the desire to bring Les Estanilles back to the forefront. The aging process is gradually adapting to the wines’ characteristics and still has room to improve. The reds are powerful and full of flavor; they are wines with a strong personality.

Hachette Wine Guide

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, the self-taught winemaker Julien Seydoux purchased this 44-hectare estate, which is farmed organically and produces wines that are often outstanding. A sure bet.
