The story goes...
Figure Libre Freestyle is the name given to an ambitious range of wines designed to shake up conventions and break new ground for expressing the inherent style of Languedoc and Roussillon. Turning its back on appellation rules, it favours freedom of choice in terms of varietal range. Figure Libre Freestyle reflects a desire to think outside the box and bring together grape varieties that would otherwise never have met in the same bottle.

Press and Awards
“Half Syrah, 30 percent Grenache Noir, 10 percent Mourvèdre, the remainder Carignan, an elegant nose of violet, garrigue, pencil lead and ripe red fruit leads into a juicy, smooth, vibrantly spicy blend that showcases the top quality fruit.” The Buyer (DK), February 2021, Figure Libre Freestyle Rouge 2019
90/100 - Decanter (Georgie Hindle) Jan. 2021 “Expressive and captivating on the nose, brimming with jammy blackcurrant and red cherry aromas alongside some garrigue herbal notes. The texture is lovely and clean, fresh and lively with an instant hit of mouthwatering freshness and touch of cherry sweetness followed by more dark fruit flavours.”
