This Favorite cuvée, mainly made from Syrah vines planted at an altitude of over 300 meters, expresses itself with finesse, richness, and generosity. On the nose, smoky and balsamic notes open up to reveal hints of black fruit and thyme. Concentrated yet crisp on the palate, it combines wild berries with a hint of graphite.

About the estate:
Oenologists Adèle Arnaud and Olivier Gil trained with renowned winemakers before settling in this Haut-Languedoc estate in 2014. They cultivate (organically) 11 hectares of old vines in the Faugères appellation and 4 hectares in the Côtes de Thongue PGI. Manual harvesting and indigenous yeasts are the norm here.

About wine:
Aksou Syrah, dominant but not overpowering, also produced at high altitude, reveals a spicy aroma with a hint of racy red fruit.
About the estate:
Adèle and Olivier met in Montpellier before working in different areas of Collioure. The call of schist led them to Faugères, more precisely to Fos, where they found pockets of old vines. In less than 10 years, they have become the new face of the appellation and now offer a frank and accurate definition of schist terroirs. Their vines, which are on average over 30 years old, are nestled between 200 and 400 meters above sea level. The different styles of wine are the result of meticulous work on each individual plot, and a conversion to organic farming was begun in 2019. With the 2022 harvest, the couple acquired a new location: a winery on the road to Pézenas, complete with a very comfortable guesthouse.
