The Félicette wines originate from the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the south of France, along its southern-most coastline of the Mediterranean. Coming from vineyards between Narbonne and Béziers, the grapes are de-stemmed, undergo cold maceration and gentle ferments. The Félicette Blanc is mostly Grenache Blanc, with a little Viogner. The Rouge is almost all Grenache, with a splash of Syrah. Both wines are exceptionally elegant, drinkable and fresh, balanced and refined. Perfect for by the glass.
Félicette Grenache Rouge 2020
Richly fruited and perfumed on the nose with dark plum, sweet cherry, smoky bacon, roasted nut and olive notes, it's wonderfully flavoursome in the mouth with excellent weight and plush mouthfeel. Upfront and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2026.
