Ollier Taillefer 'Les Collines' - Faugeres red

2017

50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Carignan

Faugeres, France

The villages of Faugères and Fos and their vineyards are the highest in the appellation—as high as 350 meters—and Fos is the most remote in the far northeast corner of the delimited area. This is the home of Ollier-Taillefer, a domain run by siblings Luc and Françoise Ollier. Their parents bottled their first wine in the mid-1970s (before their vows, he was an Ollier and she was a Taillefer), having come from four generations of growers in the region. This wine is a Grenache, Syrah, Carignan blend with red and blue fruit notes, a solid medium body, and smooth tannins on the finish!

Pair this wine with: Spaghetti and Meatballs in red sauce!
