A Faune with its Fifre 2019, full of ripe fruit on the nose, with delicate hints of roasted red pepper, offers a tannic, silky, long and distinguished palate. A cuvée to be savored with your finest rib of beef... Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Hervé Bizeul, winemaker and rebellious writer, has little left to prove, as his estate is among the elite of Roussillon. That doesn't stop him from continually questioning himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. This is particularly evident in his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely faces the harsh sun and tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée has its own distinct personality, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. No fewer than seven different terroirs give rise to a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
