Red and rosé wines. AOC classification in 1982.

Controlled Cultivation Zone : North of Béziers and Pézenas; a terroir that leaves the plains to climb the first foot hills of the Cévennes at 300 m of altitude.

Geology : mainly schistous. The schist store the heat of the day and release it during the cool hours of the night. A phenomenon that is favorable to the maturation.

Climate : mediterranean, mild and dry.

Grape-varieties : Carignan, Cinsault, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre.
Vinification : carbonic maceration for the red Carignan, traditional for the rest. Vatting time of 5-6 days up to 20-25 days for the vintage reserved for ageing. Maturing in oak barrels. For the rosé wines, bleeding and direct pressing is used but skin maceration is practised more and more.

Caracteristics : they are fleshy in taste and silky in tannins with mild aromas of matured fruits and of liquorice. They emit suave bouquets with touches of leather and flint. Meat and poultry have good company with the Faugères wines. The supreme taste of these wines will be mostly appreciated with a piece of beef or with game.
