Domaine Ollier Taillefer
Allegro Faugères Roussanne Vermentino
Faugères, Languedoc, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Always one of the top Faugères whites. 50/50 Rousanne and Rolle (Vermentino). The latter still dominates the nose and it will take a few more years until it achieves balance and complexity. Still, the quince, lime, and melon you get on the nose are attractive and it’s long and interesting on the palate. One to check back up on in 3-5 years or more.

Jul 8th, 2018One of my favourite Languedoc whites. Made in small quantities from old Rousanne and Rolle (vermentino) vines. Densely packed with fruit, minerals, and and plenty of acidity. One of the truly fine and hitherto fore relatively unknown jewels of the Languedoc! [incidentally I opened a bottle from the cellar two days later which wasn't half as good - was it the setting, bottle variation, or company?]

A wine I picked up purely because I had no idea what it was - I haven't had many Roussane/Rolle blends. Deep, deep gold. Rich as you like. Pure under ripe apples with a whiskey kick. Very tasty.

Dec 16th, 2016Au nez, des arômes d'agrumes (orange) et de fruits exotiques (mangue) se dégagent. En bouche, la rondeur de ce vin s'accompagne des mêmes arômes que ceux présents au nez et un peu de vanille. L'amertume est en revanche un peu trop présente, dommage...
