Domaine de Cebene, Felgaria, Faugeres, Languedoc-Rousillon, 2011

Tasting: Languedoc

Deep colour, quite solid dense firm nose. Oaky and leathery – characterful. Rich spicy palate with a smokey touch and some leather. Depth and ageing potential.

Tasting: Languedoc

Deep black-red. Very elegant aromas of fine perfume spices and plant extracts. Lovely; the Mourvedre is working very well here. On the palate, too, this is a magnificent wine: rich and textured, with almost sombre, spice-influenced fruits and an earthy profundity at the end. The oaking has been perfectly judged: a compelling argument for demi-muids. A completely satisfying, shapely wine of place. Bravo.

Tasting: Languedoc

Vigorous, crushed currant aromas. Lifted fruit on the palate – curranty, chocolate. Currently untogether
