Les Grandes Bastides d'Alquier
Faugères Red Blend
Faugères, Languedoc, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Vintage 2018 | Bastides d’Alquier made from Grenache and Syrah. Lots and lots of character. A clear cellar wine that does not give its beauty easily, rich and complex smell with laurel, flint, leather, cigarbox wood. Tannins in taste, it seems the wine screams for a steak or a piece of very old Gouda cheese.

"The population of Faugéres appelation is 3000...and the wine production is still under 100000 liters. That's less than 330 liters per person, which, at a litre a day, doesn't leave much room for exports. Still, you can occasionally find the reds washed up on distant shores...the red has the bony structure of vin de garde beneath a costume of sunmer fruit that flutters charmingly in its own endogenous breezes."
