The wine region of Faugères
Languedoc AOC on signature Palaeozoic schist, foothills of the Massif Central. Dense, mineral reds dominate: vibrant Syrah with signature notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper, garrigue and a smoky touch, tight tannins. Sun-drenched Grenache (ripe cherry, kirsch, spice), Mourvèdre compulsory for depth (leather, game, liquorice) — the only Languedoc AOC to require it. Carignan and Cinsault in support.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Mineral
Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
