Binet Jacquet Faugeres Reserve Faugeres AC, Languedoc – 2013

Faugeres is a beautiful, hilly region about 40kms north of Carcassonne in South West France’s Languedoc region. What makes it so special for vines is its ruggedly schisty, stony soils. Binet Jacquet work their vines 100% biodynamically which gives the resulting wines an unmistakable minerality and freshness.
This “Reserve” Faugeres comes from very low-yielding vines and has dark bramble fruit, firm but fine tannins and an unmistakable minerality and taste of its terroir. A step up in fruit-concentration and structure from the “tradition”.
