Mr. Despagne's obsession is to produce the most lively wine in his family estate, planted with old varieties of Merlot and Cabernet. After organic cultivation in the vineyard, any modern input or process is banned in the vat room: no dry ice, yeasts, enzymes, tartaric acid, oak chips... A pure fermented grape juice, aged in barrels for 12 to 18 months and bottled without filtration or fining, promised to keep well and for a long time.

In biodynamic since 2010, Fougas has been making consistent, rich and ample wines, aged 100% in new barrels in its "Maldoror" cuvée. The tannic structure has been refined in the latest vintages, giving the wines a healthy tension. The top-of-the-range "Forces de Vies" cuvée, 90% Merlot, comes from the oldest vines, a beautiful combination of modern style and classicism of organic farming.

A 4 ha plot selection from Château Rigaud, La Mauriane is not yet another luxurious cuvée on the right bank but a wine built on fine grain tannins where the brilliance and precision of the fruit prevail.
