The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A rising star in Languedoc with 1 star in the RVF Guide, Domaine Bardi Alquier is an exceptionally promising newcomer. Sophie and Thibaud Bardi de Fourtou took over this historic Faugères estate in 2017, elevating it to new heights.

With organic farming, a newly built underground winery, and aging in both barrels and now large casks, they push the boundaries further, capturing the full essence of the schist soils. The result: wines that are refined, balanced, and easy to drink, with delightful richness and perfectly controlled extraction.
Wine The 2021 Red Faugères Les Premières reveals delicate smoky and bacon-like notes reminiscent of Syrah, complemented by peony aromas from Grenache. This elegant and enticing composition continues on the palate with a fresh structure and fine tannins. It’s an approachable, easy-drinking wine, ready to enjoy now, appreciated for its finesse. Rated 92/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Traditional vinification. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
