Domaine Bernard Faurie Hermitage Bessards 2018

Hermitage, France

WineSaint

Dark and brooding with aromas of blackberry, charred herbs and crushed violets building into something profound. Massive on the palate - waves of dark fruit preserve, Mediterranean herbs and granite minerality unfold with serious intensity. The Bessards terroir shows beautifully through firm, age-worthy tannins. Built for decades. Drink 2026-2040.

Domaine Bernard Faurie

Bernard Faurie is among the most quietly serious producers on the Hermitage hill, farming small parcels across the appellation's most storied lieux-dits and bottling them with minimal intervention and no concession to fashion.
