Back in 1959, a group of like-minded wine growers with a vision to create high-quality wines joined forces. Today, their co-operative produces more than half of Faugères bottled wines and is well regarded for its quality. Vineyards that face the Mediterranean sea but are some 300m above sea level enable Faugères to benefit from the long summer sunshine but with heavier spring and autumn rainfall, and cooler temperatures than are found elsewhere in the Languedoc. With a philosophy of lutte raisonnée, and where possible adherence to organic principles, this compelling Languedoc winery offers wines that are generous, with plentiful ripe fruit, value and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVITICULTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 100% schist soils are located on the foothills of the Cévennes, looking to the South.
