Languedoc: AOC Faugères

Sylva Plana Abbey

At the heart of the Faugères Controlled Appellation Vineyard in the district of Laurens, is the Cistercian Abbey of Sylva Plana which was built in 1139.
Following the acquisition of a number of parcels and the association with Cédric Guy, Henry-Ferdinand Bouchard and his son Nicolas decided to enlarge their wine range by producing Faugères AOC wines.
The tasks of vinifying and marketing the wine are the responsibility of the Bouchard family, Cédric Guy, young and talented winegrower, is in charge of the vineyards and the grape harvest.

Attractively deep red with a purple rim. A fine, elegant nose. Aromas redolent of blackcurrant, blackberry and leather with an elegantly spicy finish. Fine length after a fresh, ample and velvety front of palate. Soft, liquoricy tannins. A wine to be savoured.
