Primus 2020
Faugères
Issued from organically and biodynamically grown vines, with a low yield of only 20 hl/ha, the grapes are carefully hand-picked from plot selection. After a 30-day long vatting of all the juices, the Syrah grapes are aged in French oak barrel for 18 months before blending with the Mourvèdre and the Carignan vinified in stainless vats for the same time.

This elegant and fresh Cuvée is perfect with all kinds of game meats or bull meat.
