CURRENT RELEASES
2019 Fidèle ‘Soleilla’ Maury Sec AOC
94 POINTS - “Intense & powerful wine, though it manages to stay pretty light on its feet. Dark berries, scrub herb & lavender perfume, meaty & slightly malty. Plenty of flavour, distinct regional herb mouth-perfume, dark raspberries & a ‘mineral’ feel, especially pleasant crushed stone tannin, bitter almond & a long clean finish packed with tannin & bucolic fragrance. Excellent wine. Personality plus.”
Gary Walsh, THE WINE FRONT, Apr ‘21
92 POINTS - “Medium to deep ruby-red hue. Dark cherry, boudin noir & garrigue aromatics. The palate sits quite deep & rich, jammy fruits nestle amongst dried herbs & lavender complexities. A stony line of tannins tightens & focuses the very long finish. It handles the high alcohol remarkably well.”

2019 TERRES FidèleS COTES DU ROUSSILLON VILLAGES
89 POINTS - “Bush vines, 40-80 years old. Grenache (60%) Carignan (40%). No oak used. Bold black fruit, kind of meaty too, but with that classic dried herb perfume that the region offers. It’s soft & fleshy, supple tannin, perhaps a little baked in fruit flavour (raspberry in the mix here), but has some spicy charm & creamy texture, and a ripe finish of solid length. A fair bit of personality here”
