Although it also produces white and rosé wines, Faugères is a French appellation located in Languedoc-Roussillon that is mostly known for their ripe and fruity red wines based on Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre, with the occasional addition of Cinsaut and Lladoner Pelut.
These ruby red wines typically display primary aromas of ripe red and black fruits that are usually complemented by nuances of coffee, underbrush, or pepper. With age, the wines may develop more robust expressions of leather or tobacco. Because of their well-structured tannins, red Faugères wines are an excellent match to red meat, game, or stews.
