A spicy, mid-weight Faugères red wine with juicy garrigue fruit flavours.
The efforts of winemaker Julien Seydoux have not escaped the attention of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate wherein David Schildknecht recently reviewed the main bottling: “The 2010 Faugères l'Impertinent - Grenache and Cinsault, along with Syrah and some Mourvèdre; partly aged in demi-muid and foudre - displays a clarity and generosity from tank that goes beyond the corresponding 2009, reflecting in part the meticulous sorting now applied to incoming fruit. Fresh blackberry, kirsch, smoky black tea, and peat in the nose are perpetuated on an infectiously juicy though firm palate, with mouthwatering salinity and an invigorating nip of black pepper informing an impressively long finish. I expect this will be worth following for 6-8 years.”
