JOUR FRUIT 2021
ROUGE AOP FAUGÈRES
TASTING NOTES
In biodynamics, we talk about Fruit Days when the moon passes in front of the fire constellations (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius). It is on Fruit Days that the wine reaches its aromatic best. To capture this expression, the wine is drawn off on a Fruit Day. The nose of this wine is clean and pleasant, dominated by notes of fresh red fruit (raspberries, strawberries, etc.). The palate is luscious, fresh and modern in style.

LE SILLON ROUGE 2019
ROUGE AOP FAUGÈRES
TASTING NOTES
All the richness of this wine is expressed by its magnificent dark colour with bright tones. The Grenache brings aromas of spicy candied fruit. Smooth, full and well-balanced on the palate. The Carignan adds a touch of freshness whilst the low-yield Syrah brings the aromatic complexity that makes this wine so generous.
