Clos Fantine Faugeres Cuvée Tradition NV

Country: France

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Carignan/Grenache/Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault

Located just outside of the village of Lenthéric, within Faugères, in the Languedoc, the 28-hectare Clos Fantine estate is run by three siblings: Carole, Corinne and Olivier Andrieu, combining their individual talents to run the business. They built their winery in 2000, three years after their father (a winemaker with a talent and passion for natural wines) passed away, and have been making natural wines in his honor ever since. All their wines are made from biodynamically grown grapes without any added sulfur and spend 18-20 months in concrete vat. 

A blend of carignan, grenache and syrah, mourvèdre and cinsault, this is a funky, complex, rustic and earthy expression with red and dark fruit, and touches of crushed herbs, smoke, and minerals. Biodynamically grown.
