Notes: New vintage not yet rated by the press—the 2005 received a 16/20 from Gault Millau
Five grape varieties, blended in equal parts, express the richness and uniqueness of the schist terroirs of the Faugères appellation in this Tradition Rouge cuvée. The 2006 offers beautiful, ripe red fruit, notes of black pepper, and incense. The palate is full-bodied with velvety tannins, over subtle notes of licorice. A wonderful introduction!

Bettane & Desseauve
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2021 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from 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.
