Faugères

Purplish red in colour. The nose is distinctly riper and fruitier in this 2016 vintage, with always the same touch of graphite, garrigue, fresh mint and a hint of game. The attack is frank and incisive with fine grained tannins, so characteristic of this wine, maintaining a keen equilibrium between tension and power. Mint is echoed on the palate, accompanied by thyme, aniseed, liquorice and smoky notes. Strong in personality, as always, this vintage possesses a lovely rustic quality with untamed aromas that create an utterly surprising and elegant harmony.
