Faugeres

Savoir-Faire

Les Fusionels are passionate about creating original, quality wines, but not to the extent of neglecting the importance of the environment.

Viticulture raisonnée is the term used to describe how their vines are nurtured. This philosophy means that chemicals are kept to a bare minimum, the land is ploughed instead of applying herbicides and only organic fertilisers are used.

"Our philosophy is to exploit our unique terroir to make exceptional wines, whilst employing viticultural practices which are in harmony with nature" - Jem

Low yields of between 25-35 hl/hectare are achieved to ensure maturity of the grapes and naturally all of the picking is done carefully by hand. All machines that risk damaging the produce are avoided at all costs. Transfer operations are carried out using gravity and not pumps in order to keep the fruit in optimal condition.

"Each individual vineyard parcel is given its own tank in the winery, so as to exploit their own individual characteristics" - Arielle

Temperature controlled fermentation in tanks lasts for about 15 days. The juice is kept in contact with the skins until the desired level of tannin and wine complexity is obtained.

The grapes are pressed in a small basket press and the wine is stored in french oak barrels for 12-18 months before each wine is blended for your enjoyment!
