Our committee's review
Tucked between the Cévennes and the wild scrubland of the garrigue, Faugères is a hidden haven where nature takes center stage. It’s in this rugged, schist-rich landscape that Frédéric Albaret has built Domaine Saint-Antonin — a powerful, characterful terroir he tends organically, guided by agro-ecological principles. Think cover crops, sheep grazing, and a deep respect for the land.
A standout estate like this was never going to stay under the radar for long. Spotted early on by our Selection Committee, it returns with the 2023 vintage — a cuvée well worth your attention, and offered at a remarkably fair price.
A beautiful expression of its schist-laden terroir, the 2023 Faugères Les Jardins Red opens with a ripe, focused nose layered with smoky, savoury hints — even a touch of bacon fat — all wrapped in the warmth of sun-baked stone. On the palate, it’s structured and generous, with juicy depth and silky, well-shaped tannins that bring real finesse. A deeply satisfying wine full of flavour and precision. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
A hidden gem from the Languedoc at an exceptional price — this one deserves your full attention.
