"The elegant signature of Domaines Lorgeril"

“Equal parts Grenache Noir and Syrah in this luscious 2022, which takes its time to reveal its notes of red fruit against a backdrop of spices and garrigue. The fruit really comes into its own on a charming palate, velvety on the attack, full-bodied, and enlivened on the finish by slightly tight tannins that will quickly soften with cellaring or when paired with a dish—such as a rack of lamb with herbs, for example.” (Le Guide Hachette)

About the wine:

This rich 2022 vintage is made from equal parts Grenache Noir and Syrah, taking its time to reveal notes of red fruit against a backdrop of spices and garrigue.

About the wine:

The Saint-Chinian Terroirs d'Altitude, enhanced by a lovely floral aroma, faithfully and elegantly captures the austere character of the limestone tannins.

About the wine:

On the nose, this wine reveals dark, rustic aromas of dried meat, cherry, and licorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with flavors of cooked fruit, tar, and anise.

Review and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on October 16, 2026

A flattering Faugères that lacks neither character nor body, with a full-bodied palate and great aromatic intensity (baked fruit). A hint of minerality and well-integrated tannins temper the fiery character of this slightly heady red and extend its lingering finish. This terroir-driven wine pairs wonderfully with Aubrac beef tenderloin with Laguiole sauce. Rating = 3.9.
