Faugeres Les Bancels Domaine de Cebene 2020 is an organic wine crafted from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, reflecting the unique terroir of the Faugeres region. This vintage exhibits a deep ruby hue and offers aromas of dark berries, plum and subtle herbal notes. The palate reveals layers of black cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of earthiness, underscored by fine tannins.

The 2020 Faugeres les Bancels, a blend of Syrah from terraced vineyards and Grenache Noir from steep, north-facing slopes, exudes a pure, refined bouquet of dark berries, cherries, flowers, iris and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a layered, ripe profile with a lively mid-palate accentuated by bright acidity. With good depth at its core and velvety tannins, it flows into a long, ethereal and mouthwatering finish. A quintessential wine from this estate, it proudly reflects the Faugères appellation and its schist soils, capturing the region’s distinct character.

Full bottle all of 1,405 g. Certified organic. Blend of Syrah and Grenache grown on north-facing schist at 300 m and south-facing Mourvèdre. Each parcel vinified separately with ambient yeast. No sulphites added during vinification. No oak, interestingly, but aged for 12 months before bottling. Deep crimson. Complex, confident nose that has now knit together to form a really gentle, flattering, slightly sweet amalgam. Salty and schisty and with lots of energy and finesse. Yes! A great-value bottle to have in the cellar. Persistent with a bit of liquorice. It should only get even more interesting. (JR)
