Mas Gabinèle Faugères Red 2019

This 2019 vintage is probably one of the most accomplished and precise ever. The connection with the schistous terroir is perfectly respected. A bright ruby red colour. The bouquet relays the minerality with tantalising restraint (notes of warm slate) and aromatic concentration (black fruit, tapenade, toasted bread, pepper). The palate adds a fresh framework to this aromatic range, with grainy, powdery tannins. Balsamic finish (cedar, rockrose). Suggestions for food matching: grilled pork, goats cheese with ash.
