Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 10/23/2023

Somewhat mixed reviews for this 2021 Faugères, which, in its defense, has a tight structure due to its youth. After a dense and juicy attack, the palate reveals concentrated flavors of cherry and blackberry jam, licorice, and spices, combined with notes of garrigue. These are supported by a mass and tannic firmness that should refine and melt away within two to three years. Curiously, there is a noticeable absence of oak despite long aging, partly in new oak. A little more depth and length would have elevated it to a higher level. Today, the still slightly wild, even somewhat rustic character of this cuvée paired well with a Lozère sausage grilled à la plancha and aligot. Score = 3.7.
