Mas des Capitelles - Faugères Vintage 2023

Lively and full of life, the 2023 Faugères Blanc is a remarkable wine that offers aromas of candied citrus, spring flowers, spices, and ripe pear, followed by a medium-bodied, elegant, and harmonious palate, supported by a juicy, vibrant fruit core and a long, mineral finish. Made from equal parts Vermentino and Roussanne, it pairs perfectly with summer dishes.

Low yields and a long fermentation period characterize this white wine, which features notes of wax, exotic fruit, and honey. It offers modern-style concentration, depth, and richness, with an agile finish.

Tasted blind. Its aroma is exactly like that of the perfectly ripe, honey-scented plums I’ve been cooking over the past few weeks. An absolutely magnificent aroma—so good that you could get lost in it and forget to taste the wine! A fantastic texture, interwoven with herbaceous aromas and a vegetal freshness: the freshness and sweetness of mint, the texture of mint leaves; the sweetness of chamomile and the texture of chamomile petals. Caraway and cumin, honey and baked apples, fennel and wild apples. There’s so much going on here. Wow.
