Fat Bastard (Thierry & Guy)
Fat Bastard operates in Pays d'Oc, the sprawling southern French region known for ripe, fruit-forward wines at accessible price points. The winery's portfolio centers on three core expressions: a Syrah that captures the dark fruit and spice typical of Rhône varieties in this warm climate, a Pinot Noir offering the varietal's characteristic elegance and red-fruit profile, and a Cabernet Sauvignon with the structure and depth the grape brings to Languedoc blends. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have rated these wines, with the Syrah earning particular recognition. The house style reflects Pays d'Oc's terroir—generous ripeness balanced by the region's Mediterranean influences, yielding wines built for both immediate pleasure and modest cellaring.
