Château les Vignals La Fauvette Rouge 2022
A bold, polished biodynamic red combining ripe dark fruit, cocoa and spice with fine tannins, generous structure and impressive ageing potential.
🍇 About the wine
La Fauvette Rouge 2022 brings together Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from clay-limestone soils on the Cordais plateau. Late harvesting gives concentration and richness while preserving freshness and balance.
Integral vinification and ageing in French oak barrels build depth and texture. The fruit remains expressive, framed by mocha, pepper and fine, melting tannins.
