NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Mas des Capitelles Vieilles Vignes Faugères is a remarkable wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Faugères appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France.On the nose, the Mas des Capitelles Vieilles Vignes Faugères offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of dried herbs and spices. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of leather and tobacco, adding a touch of elegance to the bouquet.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and ensures a long, lingering finish.
It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for several years, allowing its flavors and aromas to further develop and evolve.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mas des Capitelles
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
