Owner's words
The aromatic palette is broad: citrus fruits of grapefruit and lemon are followed by plum, juicy fruit, orange, candied fruit and zest, before sweet pastry notes and a hint of honey. The ‘Fargues’ freshness is there, the signature of the terroir, to give tone and vivacity to this enveloping substance. A perfect balance. A vintage of great richness and concentration, with a refreshing vivacity that carries the wine high. We can already place 2023 among the richest, most exuberant vintages of the estate.
