The small stream running alongside the vines now gives its name to the range known as "l'Impertinent". Fresh and delicious, this fine, delicate rosé expresses fruity aromas of raspberry, strawberry, grapefruit and pineapple, with subtle floral scents. Mineral and well-balanced, the palate is full-bodied, with lovely aromas of citrus, pomelo, rose and red fruit. Perfect for the table!

Faugères
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
This property made Faugères great in the 1990s, before being taken over by Julien Seydoux, who came here with the modesty to learn about the terroir and the desire to bring Estanilles back to the forefront. The winemaking techniques are gradually adapting to the grapes and there's still room for improvement. The reds are powerful and full-flavored, with a strong personality.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (2020 guide) Cited (Vintage 2018) (Successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
In 2009, the self-taught Julien Seydoux bought this 44-hectare estate, which is run organically and produces faugères that are often remarkable. A sure bet.
