Aubert & Mathieu Fugue Limited Edition (Syrah/Nielluccio)

Friends since school, Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées. Created in 2018, they are part of an eco-conscious approach, more transparent and more sustainable. This commitment is evident from the vine to the bottle with organic cuvées or in conversion. Carbon neutrality is the brand’s primary commitment. In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label. Eco-responsible packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes. Sustainable viticulture makes possible to plant hundreds of trees each year works and to safeguard and protect the bees, its environment and the beekeeping heritage of Languedoc. “Tired of our respective professional lives, we left everything to pursue a slightly crazy dream: to create wines like us, a little unconventional and offbeat” – Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu Certified Organic Agriculture , Fugue is a vibrant, textured, and energetic wine. Syrah is blended with an unexpected grape variety, Nielluccio, for an original and sincere expression. Vinified with whole bunches and aged in concrete eggs, the wine unfolds a refined palate, free of artifice and rich in personality. An unvarnished approach, where the balance lies between tension and sincerity. For more info, visit Aubert & Mathieu website . VARIETALS Syrah and Nielluccio VINTAGE 2024 Download Tasting Note

Appearance: A light ruby color with velvety shades.

Nose: A highly aromatic profile led by wild strawberries, red raspberries, and blackcurrant. It features a distinct rustic complexity showing hints of black pepper, cocoa, and subtle smoke.

Palate: On the palate is vibrant, fruity, and highly energetic. The concrete egg aging preserves a raw, texturized minerality. It starts broad and juicy with dark fruit flavors, moving into a structured finish balanced by natural, bright acidity.

Ageing: Aged in concrete eggs after a whole cluster fermentation.

Pairing: It’s the wine to open with a daring friend, the one who always orders the most unusual dish on the menu. Imagine it with truffle ravioli, a leg of lamb or spicy Asian dishes.
