Mas Foulaquier - Les Gran' Tonillières 2013
91/100
Robert Parker
“The 2013 Pic Saint-Loup Gran’tonillières displays 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 well-structured Pic Saint-Loup, with fine tannins, excellent purity, and a superb finish. It will age 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 southwestern-facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted primarily with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined within the estate by the more loamy, northeastern-facing terroir of Les Tonillières. This venture, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary aide. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate—which has very ancient origins—guiding it toward certification in organic and then biodynamic farming. After a few minor adjustments, they now present a renewed range of healthy, delicious, and aromatic wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.
