Brigitte Chevalier of Domaine de Cebene makes truly superb wine by any measure, hand-made, terroir-dictated wine that has been getting better and better now that she has her own custom-built cellar dug out of an isolated hill, rather than having to make wine in cramped rented space in a nearby village. Brigitte is one of the stars of Faugeres, one of the Languedoc’s most distinctive appellations in the hills above Beziers.
"The second vintage of this cuvee designed to showcase the elegance of Faugeres but meant for earlier drinking. From the vines around the cave. Grenache, a bit of Syrah and some Carignan, young and old. a la Venvole is an old French expression meaning a l’improviste or unexpectedly. Certified organic. Brigitte Chevalier describes this as un vin de bistronomie.
"Bright, pale crimson. Chock-full of sweet, youthful fruit. Beautifully juicy, unavoidably swallowable. Tannins are hardly there until the very end, but the schist of Faugeres is. You'd want to drink this with food but you'd have difficulty resisting getting to the bottom of the bottle. Drink 2021 - 2025."
17/20 points.
