Chevalier’s Felgaria cuvee is based mostly on Mourvèdre, and is the richest, most structured wine in the lineup. It’s also aged 10 months in new oak. The 2009 Faugères Felgaria offers lots of black fruits, spring flowers, truffle and assorted meatiness to go with a medium to full-bodied, ripe, textured style on the palate. This is a beauty wine that does everything right, and while it doesn’t pull any punches on the ripeness scale, it’s always fresh, lively and balanced. It will have over a decade of longevity.
