2017 Mas des Capitelles Faugeres Vintage, Languedoc-Roussillon, France Poland spontaneous fermentation in neutral oakMas des Capitelles Vintage bottling showcases some of their extremely old Carignan plantings, with 40% of the blend coming from 80 year old Carignan, and 30% each from Mourvdre and Grenache. After a month long maceration with a small proportion of semi carbonically fermented whole clusters, Vintage spends 24 months aging 80% in used French oak, with the remainderGrenache exclusively, which takes less kindly to barrelin fiberglass and enamel vats.
