One of Languedoc's most distinctive and quality-focused appellations, Faugères produces powerful, aromatic reds and increasingly exciting whites and rosés from Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan on the schist soils of the foothills north of Béziers. The appellation's unique friable schist — which drains perfectly, retains heat and imparts a distinctive mineral character — combined with the Mediterranean climate and altitude creates wines of concentration, complexity and genuine terroir expression that distinguish Faugères from generic Languedoc.
