First to go was the southern Rhone. Done. I can't stand this tepid heaviness any more. Then, the more generic Languedoc blends followed suit. Bo-ring. With a lukewarm <a href="https://www.winerambler.net/category/winery/domaine-gauby">Gauby experience</a> recently, I've even become doubtful about the Roussillon. So what about Faugères, one of the more characterful Languedoc appellations? Won't say "last try" yet, but let's just say there's some pressure on Alquier, by common agreement one of the very best names in all of southern France. </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.winerambler.net/sites/default/files/images/alquier.jpg" width="500" height="375" align="center" class="inline inline-center" /></p> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="https://www.winerambler.net/users/julian" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">Julian</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Thursday, 19/08/2010</span> <div class="node__links"> <ul class="links inline"><li class="node-readmore"><a href="https://www.winerambler.net/wine/j-m-alquier-reserve-la-maison-jaune-faugeres-1998" rel="tag" title="J.
