Faugères Rouge, Les Novices 2020

Cuvée Les Novices is a deeply colored and easy to drink wine. It is an ideal wine for your meals with friends. It is fresh and aromatic with scents of blackberries and cherries. The volume of the wine melts the very ripe tannins. In the mouth it is rich in ripe fruit and the garrigue comes out nicely. The best friends of this wine are grilled lamb, poultry, grilled meats and barbeque vegetables, and pork sausages.

Fruity and fleshy, this Cinsault cuvée is associated with young Grenache and Carignan vines. These grapes are manually harvested, after which they undergo a maceration by means of carbonation for Carignan and Cinsault and long fermentation in barrel for Grenache.

The vines face south, in contour lines, planted on soils of schist, clay-limestone and gray marble. Summers are very dry and annual rainfall rarely exceeds 700 mm per year. The rains are usually concentrated between November and April. The predominant wind comes from the north.
