A.O.C. Faugères, Languedoc
Les Fusionels apply their trade in the small wine-making commune of Cabrerolles in the heart of the Faugères in Languedoc.
The Faugères, a small appellation in the foothills of the Cevennes Mountains, is well renowned for its spicy red wines and fruity rosés, that benefit from its unique Mediterranean micro-climate.
The special conditions and terroir that give Faugères wines their distinctive taste are its schisty soil, the scorching Mediterranean climate and its elevated position.
The famous schist is dry and friable, which allows the roots of the vines to penetrate deeply in search of moisture during the hot, dry summer. It also absorbs the heat of the daytime before releasing it in the cooler evenings. All of this, helps the grape's maturity and increases its concentration.
The marin (sea) and tramontane (north-east) winds are regular visitors to the Faugères hills, yet their presence is welcomed as they ventilate the vineyards and limit fungal formations.
Les Fusionels' land is positioned in an ideal location at an altitude of between 200 and 400 metres, it faces due south and the full glare of the summer Languedocien sun. This, fused with Arielle and Jem's savoir-faire, help produce their elegant and complex vintages.
