Mas Olivier Faugeres Blanc Esprit Nature Organic
Les Crus Faugeres ( Ermengaud / Mas Olivier )
France - Languedoc-Roussillon - Faugeres

This limited “cuvée” is the outcome of a terroir and the commitment to organic farming. A handful of winegrowers driven by the same desires and passion: protecting the environment, the well-being of future generations & the fair compensation of the meticulous hard work all year long.

A beautiful pale golden color with green tints, it expresses orange zest and toffee aromas on the nose. In the mouth, pleasant flavors of orange blossoms are accompanied by a wonderful minerality coming from the Schist terroir. The lingering finish is fresh, juicy and soft, an elegant balance of structure and intensity.

wplogo"Fans of minerality in wine will want to seek out this terrific white blend of organically farmed roussanne and marsanne grapes. These grapes can produce flabby, uninteresting wines. But this one is lean and focused — it seems to speak directly from the schist vineyard soils. This is an ideal partner for grilled fish or other seafood dishes. It benefits from a little oxygen, and should get even better with a few more months in bottle. And don’t drink it too cold — cool is better. Certified organic grapes.- Dave McIntyre"
