Mas Foulaquier - Les Gran' Tonillières 2013
91/100
Robert Parker
"The 2013 Pic Saint-Loup Gran'tonillières has superb intensity and depth, with a bouquet of black and blue fruits, licorice, flowers, and crushed rock. It gives way to a medium-bodied, elegant, and structured Pic Saint-Loup, with fine tannins, excellent purity, and a superb finish. It will evolve beautifully over the next decade." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About the estate:
Located north of the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, this estate consists of a large south-west facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir itself, which is joined by the more loamy Tonillières terroir, facing north-east. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate, which has very ancient origins, by steering it towards organic and then biodynamic certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, delicious and fragrant wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.
