Lot presentation
Faugères Château des Estanilles Prestige Michel Louison 1994
The wine
A real icon of its appellation, the Cuvée Prestige from Château des Estanilles is cultivated in a schist-rich soil; it is matured in one-year-old barrique barrels for one year. Its intense ruby-red colour exudes notes of stewed black berries, sweet spices and menthol. Full bodied and creamy, it is counterbalanced with refined, racy tannins which require several years' keeping.
Nestled in the heart of the Faugères appellation, this domain was created by the enthusiast Michel Louison at the end of the 1970s. Since 2010, vinification has been managed by a new team headed by the young and prodigious Julien Seydoux. They have adopted organic and biodynamic viticulture and their wines are coveted for their velvety texture and elegance.
