Delicate, with aromas of ripe fruit (cherry, morello cherry, blackberry, plum), spices (licorice), garrigue (thyme), leather and empyreumatic notes (cocoa) on the nose. The palate of La Maison Jaune 2020 is supple, lively and precise, with a delicate texture of juicy fruit, silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish.

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2025) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Maison Jaune is fresher, greedier and well-extracted. The carignan gives it its brilliance, its slightly smoky perfumes, its notes of soot under a ripe red fruit.
About the domain :
Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic Faugères estate in 2017. The wines we tasted for this edition are the latest witnesses to the transition from Jean-Michel Alquier to the new owners. The couple's aim? To perpetuate the style of the house, whose vineyards are dominated by old syrahs 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're keeping a close eye on this new development.
