BACKGROUND
Frédéric Brouca is a passionate winemaker based in the Faugères appellation of the Languedoc region in southern France. He is dedicated to organic farming and minimal intervention winemaking to express the unique schist terroir of Faugères. 'Clos Sauveplane' is a single-vineyard cuvée, typically a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The schist soils impart a distinct minerality and freshness to the wine. Brouca's approach results in a wine that is vibrant, aromatic, and structured, featuring notes of dark berries, garrigue (wild herbs), and a peppery spice, reflecting the rugged beauty of the Languedoc.
