Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 23/10/2023
A somewhat mixed opinion of this Faugères 2021 which, in its defense, has a tight structure due to its youth. A dense, juicy attack is followed by concentrated flavors of jammy cherry and blackberry, licorice and spice, combined with hints of maquis. These are supported by a mass and tannic firmness that should refine and mellow over the next two to three years. Curiously, there's no woodiness despite a long ageing period partly in new oak. A little more depth and length would have raised it to a higher level. Today, the still slightly wild, even rustic side of this cuvée went well with a plancha-grilled Lozère sausage and its aligot. Score = 3.7.
