The 2023 harvest is coming to a close. Our vines are champions: deeply rooted in the schist rock, they have withstood the challenging weather conditions of recent months, giving us healthy fruit that bears the imprint of their terroir #harvest #harvest2023 #vintage #Faugeres

The Faugères hillsides are bathed in sunshine. Perched high on a schist outcrop, Domaine de Cébène looks out over Faugères, the Haut-Languedoc area and further afield, the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees

"If I had to name my 5 favourite Faugeres wine estates, (...) Domaine de Cébène would be amongst them. Brigitte Chevalier has been making wine in the region for nearly 20 years now and her wines seem to evolve and improve every time I see her.” https://t.co/n0tF82xXB7

Our sandstone eggs add texture to the wine as it matures (it's constantly in motion and remains in contact with its lees). We use them for our Mourvèdre (for our Felgaria wine) as they allow just the right amount of micro-oxygenation and add elegance #eggs #ageing #maturation

It's been cloudy recently and we've had a few drops of rain, but not nearly enough. Despite this, the Faugères countryside looks very green...

Felgaria is a unique combination of Mourvèdre, altitude, and schist rock. Only a few hundred bottles are made each year. It exemplifies the minerality and singularity of the terroir of Faugères. Pair it with local meat, namely Aubrac beef #Mourvedre #wine #altitude #schist
