Katie Jones La Voie Faugeres 2013
About the wine
Katie pulled a few strings to bring you another delicious parcel
- Last year, Katie turned her talented touch to a one-off parcel of Faugeres. And judging by its 92% rating, you couldn't get enough of the stuff. So she's pulled a few strings to bring you another delicious vintage of this charming southern belle.
- Warming, earthy Syrah meets smooth and supple Grenache, blended seamlessly into a luscious mouthful with the tobacco-tinged balance of Carignan. As classy as it is gutsy, with heaps of added heart and soul.
- This is your chance to see what a Languedoc Legend in the making can do - at a mere snip! Grab yourself a bottle and a fat juicy steak for a midweek meal worth writing home about.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Katie Jones
- Katie’s love of wine led her all the way from Leicestershire to the Languedoc where she bought an idyllic vineyard perched half-way up a hill in Tuchan. In 2013 she experienced every winemaker’s worst nightmare when vandals emptied her entire year’s vintage down the drain.
- She turned to us. And 2,500 Angels helped to get her back on her feet - clubbing together to raise over £200k in just 48 hours. Our Queen of the Languedoc was able to start again and has gone on to make some seriously delicious wines, with sparkly awards a plenty.
- Thanks to her beloved Angels, Katie has been able to nab more hilltop vineyards, expand her range and even move her winemaking operation into an old railway station to fit in more barrels. It’s a long way from the 600 cases of wine she made in her garage in 2009!
