l'Ancienne Mercerie sits in Faugères, a hillside appellation within Languedoc where schist soils and Mediterranean heat shape wines of depth and structure. The winery draws on the region's traditional varieties—Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah—blending them into red wines that balance ripeness with mineral tension. Couture Faugères, the flagship red, combines Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah into a wine rated 92.5 by prestige critics including Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Advocate. Les Petites Mains Faugères adds Mourvèdre to a similar base, achieving a 89.7 rating. On the white side, Les Champs Perdus Faugères pairs Roussanne with Grenache Blanc, a less common blend that earned an 88.0 prestige rating. These wines reflect Languedoc's shift toward serious, terroir-driven production—moving beyond the region's bulk-wine past toward expressions that reward attention.
