Faugeres Rouge, Mas des Capitelles 2022 (Languedoc, France)

Description

Mourvdre (50%) and Carignan (25%) from vines up to 80 years old, with Syrah (25%) completing the blend. An exuberant nose of blueberries, violets, and warm dust evokes the sun-scorched slopes of the appellation in visceral fashion, and the palate sizzles with an almost spiky minerality, framed by rich but firm blue and black fruits.
