This wonderful southern French blend enjoys jammy aromas of red raspberry with hints of rose petals and black tea. It’s a fruit forward wine that fills the mouth with vibrant ripe flavors of raspberry, boysenberry, and cranberry. You may notice floral notes of geranium.
Raspberry jam, blueberry, maple, rose petals and boysenberry.
Founded in 1977, Ollier Taillefer is benefitting from the rise in stature of France’s gigantic Languedoc region. The region was exploited mostly for bulk wine for much of the last century and suffered tough times in recent years as French wine sales slumped. Yet the region is coming back, largely on the promise of small, high-quality winemakers, like Ollier Taillefer, that are plumbing the depths of their terroir. Faugères is a unique spot, owing to its steep hills of craggy schist that produce reds, such as this blend, of great energy and minerality.
The easygoing structure and fruit forward nature of this wine bring to mind some of the classic rustic dishes of the South of France. Stews, ragouts and other braised dishes of poultry, duck, veal or lamb will make great textural complements to this wine. Tomato-based dishes like ratatouille will also play wonderfully to the wine’s pronounced fruit. Our suggestion of Mushroom Panzanella can work as a first or main course.
“Men are like wine – some turn to vinegar but the best improve with age” ~ Pope John XXIII
