About the estate:
Marie Boudal meticulously cultivates her old vines (24 hectares of organic land) of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre (some of which are over 70 years old) on the steep slopes of Roquessels, in the Faugères appellation. She has two labels: Ch. des Peyregrandes and Dom. Bénézech-Boudal.

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.
