Saint Antonin Faugères - Cazalet Rouge 2021

Wine:

Well anchored on its schists soil, the 2021 Red Faugères Cazalet unfolds a perfect scenario; the very pure nose, with a touch of smoke and fruit coulis, is all seductive. The velvety, suave, full, and rich palate delivers the same delicious, voluptuous flavors with well-coated tannins of great precision. It is a bottle ready to drink now or over 5 years, where the smoky flavors of the syrah are linked to the minerality of the schist. A Selection Committee Favorite rated 93/100.

Between the Cevennes and the garrigues, Faugères is a preserved place where nature is king. It is this natural setting created by schist that Frédéric Albaret has invested in the Domaine Saint-Antonin. A powerful terroir that he nurtures organically and in agro-ecology, with the help of sheep grazing and grassing.
