Dating Faugeres

Now that I have been intrigued by the "Faugeres", I had to continue the romance.  This time it is in the form of a 2008 Domaine Cazalet Faugeres.  This wine topped out at €3.90.  The nose is a little earthy, but in a good way.  Again the sense of raisins with a hint of vanilla. This wine was pleasant from first sip. A little tart and dry, but finish is so mellow and rewarding.  I still have a hard time describing this wine.  I can't put my finger on what exactly I'm tasting.

The Faugeres wine appellation was only created in 1982, relatively unknown outside of France.  I have definitely become a convert and have approximately 25 days to continue my love affair.  I will have to do some hard searching at home to find wines from this appellation.   I am also sure I won't find them at the bargain prices at my local super marche. 

I have no doubt that this won't be my last bottle from the appellation Faugeres.  I may even stray outside my €5.00 limit to try something from this region above that.

Bon Soir, until tomorrow.
