Mas des Capitelles’ 2021 Faugères Vieilles Vignes is a red blend from old-vine Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grown on schist soils in the Languedoc. The estate uses organic and biodynamic practices, hand harvesting, and native yeast fermentation with aging in neutral oak and amphorae to preserve freshness and terroir expression.

This wine delivers ripe black cherry, black pepper, and herbal complexity with balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins. It’s a structured yet elegant southern French red with pronounced mineral energy.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

Mas des Capitelles’ workhorse “Vieilles Vignes” is built on the backs of Mourvèdre (50%) and Carignan (25%) from vines up to 80 years old, with Syrah (25%) completing the blend. After a 30-day maceration with a small proportion of semi-carbonic whole clusters in the fermentation, one-fifth of the cuvée was aged in oak and four-fifths in fiberglass and enamel vats, with bottling taking place after 14 months. An exuberant nose of blueberries, violets, and warm dust evokes the sun-scorched slopes of the appellation in visceral fashion, and the palate sizzles with an almost spiky minerality, framed by rich but firm blue and black fruits. The balance of refinement and wildness here is extraordinary, with neither trait calling too much attention to itself.
