Domaine Bardi d'Alquier

A wind of change is blowing through the Alquier estate, which has been in the process of being handed down for several years. Jean-Michel Alquier, a renowned Languedoc winemaker and leading figure in Faugères, passed the torch in 2017 to Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou. Now renamed Bardi d'Alquier in tribute to this great Languedoc figure, the estate is today run by Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou, who are continuing Jean-Michel Alquier's work, respecting traditions, staying close to the terroir, cultivating as naturally as possible, while adding their own personal touch.

Located in the Faugères appellation area in the Languedoc region, the Bardi d'Alquier estate comprises 12 hectares of vines, almost all of which are dedicated to the production of red wines (10 hectares), on schist soils, mainly on hillsides. The vineyard is mainly planted with Syrah, which brings impressive aromatics, complemented by Grenache Noir for finesse and elegance and Mourvèdre for final complexity. White grape varieties account for 2 hectares of the vineyard with Marsanne, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Sauvignon. 

The wines are as delicious as ever, combining finesse, complexity and the expression of the Faugères terroir. A must-try in Faugères.
