Faugères Red: Mineral and Structured Reds from the Languedoc

Located on a unique schist terroir in the heart of the Languedoc, the Faugères AOC is renowned for intense, powerful yet elegant reds. The schist soil imparts remarkable minerality and aromatic complexity.

An exceptional schist terroir

The schist soil, known as the "slate of Languedoc," absorbs daytime heat and releases it slowly at night, encouraging slow, even ripening essential for balanced wines.

Classic Mediterranean varieties

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Carignan form the core blends of Faugères. These grapes produce wines with notes of dark fruits, spices, garrigue herbs, and sometimes licorice.

Powerful and balanced style

Faugères wines combine tannic structure, aromatic intensity, and mineral freshness with excellent aging potential, expressing the authentic, wild character of the Languedoc.

Food pairings

Perfect with grilled red meats, spiced duck breast, hearty stews, or robust Mediterranean dishes. Ideal for rich and aromatic cuisine.
