Warm and balanced with notes of black fruit, toast, and cinnamon, this nose will evolve over time. More complex tertiary aromas will complement this beautiful palette. Silky and round, the palate of this vintage presents fine, supple tannins. Very nice harmony for a long finish. Decant a good hour before tasting.

More muscular, Les Bastides offers intense aromas of wild pepper, spices, and beautiful, mouthwatering bitterness.
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.

About wine:
Currants, undergrowth, leather, bark, and spices. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Serious and structured, with a juicy core of red fruit at the center and a wide range of Mediterranean spices and herbs on the finish. Drink now or hold.
