WINE DESCRIPTION
Saint Antonin Magnoux Faugères is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Saint Antonin Magnoux winery in the Faugères appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon, France. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with schist soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and traditional vinification techniques, resulting in a wine that is rich, complex, and full-bodied. The wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, which give it a deep ruby color and aromas of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. On the palate, it is well-structured with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. Saint Antonin Magnoux Faugères is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the complexity and depth of a premium red wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
A full-bodied and robust red, Saint Antonin Magnoux Faugères is a classic example of the unique character of the Faugères appellation.The nose is filled with aromas of ripe cherries, wild blackberries, and forest floor, while the palate offers notes of blueberry, black currant, and a hint of spice. With fine tannins and good acidity, this wine has a lengthy finish and will benefit from a few years of cellaring. Enjoy it with a charcuterie board, or grilled meats.

ORIGINS
Winery: Saint Antonin
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
