"Chevalierâs Felgaria cuvee is based mostly on Mourvèdre, and is the richest, most structured wine in the lineup. Itâs also aged 10 months in new oak. Surprisingly, I found the 2010 Faugères Felgaria to be more upfront, charming and straightforward than the 2009. It offers lots of sweet black raspberry, cassis, licorice and crushed flower-like notes to go with a medium-bodied, polished and elegant feel on the palate. This might gain a smidge more depth and richness with another year in the cellar . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
