This is a major player in the area as the Cave is acting as the only cave cooperative. They manage 900 hectares (2,223 acres) of vineyards out of the 2,000 hectares (4,940 acres) of Faugeres planted. Let's say that 1 bottle of Faugeres out of 2 is made in this cellar. Faugeres was recognized as an exclusive quality terroir in 1955 when it was classified as VDQS (Vin De Qualité Supérieure). Because of the specific soil type and the uniqueness of the terroir, Faugeres became its own AOC in 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDark red with shades of black cherry. There is a large complexity of aromas with a combination of sun fruits and scents of spices. A deep consistency, powerful and full-bodied wine offering an intensity of ripe fruits. It has a long and rich palate on velvety tannins with raising hints of pepper. The cuvée is named after the lord Ermengaud de Fouzilhon who gave lands which were located on Laurens village in 12th century to the monks who built a monastic barn. The monks (Benedictine and then Cistercian) used to cultivate the vineyards there with really wise and modern at that time methods which allows Laurens people to enjoy from this teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Les Crus Faugères is the only cooperative in this appellation, managing 2,223 acres or nearly half of Faugères’ vines. It puts out a vast array of labels, including Mas Olivier, also recommended here, but Baron Ermengaud was the standout for both its 2019 and 2018 reds. Mostly syrah (80 percent), with grenache, carignan and mourvèdre, all of it hand-harvested off schist parcels, the 2019 shines in its combination of earthiness and brightness. Lively acidity and herbal notes give it a just-picked freshness that energizes the red fruit; the clarity allows a clear view of the earth, too, in shades of schist and iron. It tastes like it’s from a place, with a sense of sun and garrigue that’s transporting.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Magazine (June 2021), 94 points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Crus Faugeres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380051837152,"sku":"112647","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/les-crus-faugeres-baron-ermengaud-rouge_1.jpg?v=1663887639","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/les-crus-faugeres-baron-ermengaud-rouge-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
