Domaine Bardi d'Alquier 2019 Case
Wines included
Faugères Les Bastides, Domaine Bardi d'Alquier 2019
This Languedoc blend is dominated by fruit from old syrah vines and the elévage (maturation in the cellars) includes a higher proportion of new oak barrels to create the dark, brooding, ripe, figgy and tarry fruit. The northern Rhône is the inspiration and it delivers well.
Faugères, Maison Jaune, Domaine Bardi d'Alquier 2019
The change of name reflects a change in ownership, though still in the style established by Jean-Michel Alquier at this notable southern French estate. Maison Jaune is grenache-dominated with some syrah, aged in used barrels for a year. Enjoy its dark, stony, gravelly fruit but this will benefit from keeping a little longer, such was the strength of the vintage.
