Cistus in Latin is the emblematic plant surrounding the estate's plots. This red Faugères exalts aromas of black fruit, chocolate and thyme. Complex and velvety, this deep wine evokes the unique landscape of its terroir, with a finesse that's well worth the wait. A must-have cuvee from the estate!

About the wine:
I'm immediately struck by aromas of orange blossom, violet, juniper and cassia. On the palate, the flavors are concentrated, distilled into a succulent concoction of mandarin peel, currant, bramble and undergrowth. Superb.

About the domain :
Since the 1970s, this certified organic estate has been one of the jewels in the appellation's crown, appearing in the Guide with unfailing regularity. Boasting a magnificent terroir of 70 small schist parcels (58 ha) that sculpt the landscape, today it benefits from the know-how of the younger generation, inherited from grandfather Jean and father Bernard Vidal, both former presidents of the appellation.
