Chateau de la Liquiere, Faugeres Rouge, 2022
La Liquiere is among the finest estates in Faugères. Vidals have lived in the village of Cabrerolles in the very north of the appellation since the seventeenth century, but the estate was really founded by François’s grandfather, who was one of the most vocal lobbyists for the creation of the Faugères appellation – which occurred in 1982.
The family have 60 hectares, largely at 300m. of altitude on the schistous slopes which precede the massif to the north. Their wines reflect their situation, showing a natural concentration from very low yields (averaging just 25 hectolitre per hectare) across stony vineyards of largely bush vines; and an elegance which derives from the cooler breezes in the hills.
Carignan, Grenache and Syrah aged in tank. Powerful and ripe with deep, savoury fruit alongside hints of rosemary and cocoa. Supple tannins and a lifted freshness complete the picture. Now-2028
How Simon found this: "I first visited La Liquiere and the Vidal family in Cabrerolles, up against the Massif Central, in the late 90s (before even setting up SVS) and we shipped three vintages. A gap followed, but we are now again offering their organic wines. This is my current favourite, showing terrific density of ripe raspberry and redcurrant fruit".
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
