February 13, 2021 - Ok, this might not the best Faugeres I've ever had, but it is quite well made. I don't see all these issues with carbonic maceration; the wine might have gone through whole cluster fermentation, but I don't think it impacted it in a negative way. Quite elegant actually, and it shows moderation on the alcohol level. Right in the sweet spot right now. Just enjoy it!

September 11, 2016 - Red fruit, some floral notes, lavender? Medium body, balanced tannins.
Really good and fresh to be from southern France.
