Domaine Jean-Michel Alquier - Faugères Les Grandes Bastides d'Alquier 2012

4.2/5 (5 reviews)

"A great, flattering, ready-to-drink Faugères, an exclusive by Jean-Michel Alquier.

"Les Grandes Bastides d'Alquier 2012 [...] has developed aromas of dried cherries and cigar box, with lots of vanilla, but also hints of licorice and roasted meat. It's medium-bodied, with supple tannins, a creamy, chewy mouthfeel and remarkably mouthwatering length on the finish. Drink now, it should last another 4-5 years with no problem." (Wine Advocate 2020). Limited quantities.

Bardi d'Alquier - Faugères Les Vignes du Puits 2022

4/5 (1 review)

"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.

Bardi d'Alquier - Faugères Les Bastides d'Alquier 2020

"A high-flying cuvée, its harmony will delight the palate for immediate pleasure.

Warm and balanced, with notes of black fruit, toast and cinnamon, this nose will evolve with time. More complex tertiary aromas will complete this beautiful palette. Silky and round on the palate, this vintage boasts fine, supple tannins. Very harmonious, with a long finish. Decant an hour before tasting.

Bardi d'Alquier - Faugères La Maison Jaune 2021

"The estate's flagship cuvée, combining an intense fragrance with a smooth, velvety palate".

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.

5/5 (1 review)

"A fine debut for this 2020 vintage, well-balanced, dense and full of finesse, a sure value".

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

Bardi d'Alquier - IGP Hérault Les Pierres Blanches 2022

"This cuvée will instantly charm lovers of Languedoc Sauvignon Blanc".

Only one hectare of vines contributes to the production of this cuvée Les Pierres Blanches, making it a rare wine, but above all one of great quality. With its beautiful golden yellow color, this white offers fresh, fruity aromas.

Bardi d'Alquier -Faugères Les Cinq Pétales rosé

3.5/5 (6 reviews)

"A rosé to accompany your summer with finesse".

Let yourself be carried away by this elegant, delicate cuvée, with its aromatic palette of citrus fruits (pomelo, kumquat) and a hint of agastache flower. The rosé is lively and taut on the palate, then enveloping, taking over the whole palate to express itself fully. The finish ends with a light, fruity return.

Domaine Jean-Michel Alquier - Rosé 2016

4/5 (1 review)

Jean-Michel Alquier's Faugères rosé has a very pale, almost translucent color. It expresses aromas of fresh fruit with a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it's as round, smooth and refined as his other cuvées. A fresh, thirst-quenching wine!

Domaine Jean-Michel Alquier - Les Pierres Blanches Sauvignon Blanc 2010

3/5 (2 reviews)

Little did Jean-Michel Alquier know that the micro-cuvée he created less than 10 years ago would be in such demand that he'd barely be able to keep a few bottles! Here's his story: " In 2001 I had a small, rather 'rich' parcel for Faugères, and I didn't know what to plant! So I decided to introduce this grape variety ( Sauvignon) to my property. The root system develops more and more each year, promoting minerality. At the time, I was thinking that, if this wine became unsaleable, I could always drink it with Friends! Around 400 bottles a month, that's 13 bottles a day!!! " A rare cuvée to discover!

Note : RVF 16/20
A brilliantly fresh cuvée, with notes of rosemary, white peach and saline touches. A seductive white in the tradition of the great southern whites...
