Faugères
Issued from organically and biodynamically grown vines, with a low yield of only 20 hl/ha, the grapes are carefully hand-picked from plot selection. After a 30-day long vatting of all the juices, the 80-year old Carignan grapes and the Mourvèdre grapes are separately aged in French oak barrel for 24 months before blending with the Grenache aged in stainless vats to keep its fruitiness.
