"A very pretty Faugères of great originality for the most demanding connoisseurs, ideal for gourmet dining and perfectly suited to ageing."
A straw-yellow color precedes a delicate nose, with a profile of Mediterranean scents, both floral and spicy. A sober, perfectly defined white, with a taut, dynamic body and a long, delicious finish.

Les Vignes du Puits, an enveloping wine with notes of mullein blossom and a broad but balanced palate. Open within 2 years.
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.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100
About the wine:
Vibrant and precise, this wine expresses notes of fresh lemon, apricot, tulip and grilled herbs. Medium-bodied, with a fruity core of apple and lemon. Lively and fairly sharp. Supple, well-defined finish. Drink now.
