Clos Fantine is a small, family-run winery in La Liquière, located in the hills in the commune of Faugères. Having inherited the winery from their father, Olivier, Corine & Carole Andrieu continue the farming and winemaking tradition, but have taken it in a more natural direction. The property comprises around 30-hectares of organic vineyards, in which Mourvèdre, Grenache, Terret Blanc and Gris, Cinsault, Syrah and Aramon (a very old variety, planted in 1915) grow. The vines were freed from their trellising system around twenty years ago, and now floppy bush vines grow in even rows.
Grapes: 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 30% Syrah
