Yves Beck A year of challenge for the Faugères technical staff. There were a few hailstorms and then the spring was very wet. The bouquet of Cap de Faugères is marked by notes of blackcurrant and chalky nuances. On the palate the wine has juice, fat and lively, tight tannins. The structure ensures liveliness and supports the aromatic expression until the finish. 2023-2033 90-92/100
