Fitou

Domaine Les Mille Vignes - Fitou L'Idyllique 2019

"Fabulous, L'Idyllique is quite simply a great wine made from a rare grape variety".

"This cuvée puts the spotlight on the rare lledoner pelut (80%), a cousin of grenache, accompanied by carignan and mourvèdre. The color is bright ruby with violet highlights. The elegant nose conjures up red fruits (cherry and redcurrant) enhanced by a hint of spice. The palate is round, velvety and spicy (white pepper), supported by straightforward tannins and a fine freshness that stretches the finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2023). Numbered bottles.

Domaine Les Mille Vignes - Fitou Dennis Royal 2018

"A charming, complex Fitou".

A cuvée centered on the estate's old Carignan grapes, with a penetrating nose of black fruit, star anise and rosemary. The body is tight, fresh, with a very distinguished grain. An expression of Carignan with a spicy, minty character!

Mas des Caprices - Fitou Anthocyane 2020

5/5 (1 review)

"A fine, concentrated Fitou, to be forgotten in the cellar".

"This cuvée expresses Fitou's limestone and proximity to the sea. The bouquet offers the scents of the garrigue that surrounds the plot, enhanced by jammy black fruits. The palate is elegant, fresh and delicious, with a pretty finish of strawberry and redcurrant mixed with minerality. A loose fitou". (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Mas des Caprices - Fitou ZE Fitou 2021

3.6/5 (9 reviews)

"A signature of the estate, rarely has a Fitou achieved such finesse and freshness.

"Intense nose of ripe berries, dark plums, cassis, earth and bark. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Juicy on the palate, with notes of black cherry juice and a vibrant finish. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring." (James Suckling 2023) Cuvée conviviale par excellence!

Domaine Bertrand-Bergé - Fitou Ancestrale 2020

"Refinement!"

"Mourvèdre adds its ardor to the classic fitou blend. The bouquet blends fruit, flowers and spices: prunes, peony, violets... A lovely symphony. The palate is lively, a reflection of this high-altitude land, the wood well controlled, letting jammy black fruit dominate, accompanied by notes of dried flowers and hazelnut. The finish lingers on a note of bitter orange". (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Domaine Bertrand-Bergé - Fitou Origines 2021

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

"A fine representative of its appellation

Origines is the starting point for Jérôme Bertrand's approach, which not only asserts his belonging to the Paziols terroir in Languedoc Roussillon, but also pays homage to all the generations that have gone before. This juicy, powerful cuvée, with notes of candied fruit, is a pure delight to taste. Incredible value for money!

Domaine Bertrand-Bergé - Fitou La Boulière 2019

"A charming Fitou!

"La Boulière is richer, with notes of candied red fruit, vanilla and pepper. (Le Guide RVF 2023) This sure value comes from a high-altitude terroir on a sea of old pebbles dating from the Oligocene. A wine of great class, concentrated in substance and flavor (wild scents, intense, ripe fruit) and balanced by a mineral tannic framework.

Domaine Bertrand-Bergé - Les Mégalithes 2018

4/5 (9 reviews)

"A beautiful personality

"95% Carignan (with Grenache in addition) adds depth to the intense garnet-red color of this cuvée. On the nose, notes of strawberry, cherry, musk and rhubarb rub shoulders with mineral and smoky nuances. From the outset, the palate is supple and round, then very fine tannins reveal themselves, bringing volume and personality to this wine of red fruit flavors". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) Fitou sur galets roulés, from the estate's finest terroirs!

Mas des Caprices - Retour aux Sources 2017

3.5/5 (4 reviews)

"This cuvée, composed of Carignan, Mourvèdre and the rare Lledoner Pelut, shines with a beautiful ruby hue. After aeration, it opens with notes of black fruit, undergrowth and graphite. The palate is frank and clean, with plenty of freshness. The fruity notes prevail for a long time, carried by a light sparkle and underlined by a saline touch on the finish". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) A superb terroir wine!

Mas des Caprices - Anthocyanes 2014

4.2/5 (5 reviews)

"Here's a particularly successful wine, full and flavorful, with fruit that's slightly candied but remains fresh, plenty of relief in the flavor of resin, pine needle and sweet spices." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2018 - RVF) A red like we love them!

Mas des Caprices - Oufti 2014

3.2/5 (16 reviews)

Oufti is a convivial cuvée par excellence, with savory notes of ripe fruit, finely wooded, accompanied by typically Mediterranean scents of garrigue. The palate is harmonious and round, with lovely, silky tannins. This wine should be aired and/or decanted. A delicious and highly original Fitou!
