This wine shows a purple intense color. Aromas are reminicent of Mediterranean character with blackberry, garrigue, thyme and some herbal spice. The mouthfeel is rich and fresh with some mintiness and a great length to the finish.
The Laugé Family called this new cuvee "Vintage" to highlight both the tradition and modernity in the wine. In French, the word 'tradition' is used to designate old products having a style and excellent quality. They wanted to bring a modern character and an international name, open to the world and understood by all wine lovers.
Delicious with lamb and grilled vegetables.
"The most expensive release in the 2015 Faugères Vintage, which comes from very old vine Carignan, Mourvèdre and Grenache, with the Carignan and Mourvèdre brought up barrel, and the Grenache all in tank. It shows some oak influence yet has wonderful fruit, notes of white flowers, vanilla, and pepper, medium to full body, and an elegant, seamless texture. Give bottles a year or so and it should keep nicely through 2025. It’s another beautiful wine from this estate."
