INFO: Vineyards that face the Mediterranean sea but are some 300m above sea level enable Faugères to benefit from the long summer sunshine but with heavier spring and autumn rainfall, and cooler temperatures than are found elsewhere in the Languedoc.
Fermentation is in concrete tanks, followed by lees contact and battonage over a three month period to give greater texture. No oak influence
The resulting wines are bursting with ripe melon, orange blossom and lively citrus. Harmonious, balanced and finishing with an appealing lack of acidity
