"Racy berries, peppery spices, dried thyme, oregano, and red earth. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Harmonious and spicy with lively berries on the mid-palate before a savory finish. Drink now or hold." (James Suckling 2022)

About wine:
Les Premières, made from the earliest-ripening young vines, is a wonderful introduction to this balanced and dense 2020 vintage. It reveals spicy notes and a blood orange finish.
About the estate:
Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic estate in Faugères in 2017. The wines we tasted for this edition are the last examples of the transition between Jean-Michel Alquier and the new owners. The couple's goal? To perpetuate the style of the estate, whose vineyard is dominated by old Syrah vines from massal selections (among the first planted in Languedoc in the 1960s by Jean-Michel Alquier's father, Gilbert), complemented by Mourvèdre and Grenache. We remain attentive to this new turning point.
