Château des Adouzes, founded in 2018 by the Coste family, is located in the medieval village of Roquessels within the Faugères appellation. The 42-hectare estate is celebrated for its unique terroir, as the entire appellation is defined by highly prized schist soil that imparts a distinct minerality to the wines. This rocky, infertile soil forces vines to grow deep, making them drought-resistant and contributing to concentrated flavors. The Le Tigre blend specifically uses a mix of Grenache, Syrah, and ancient, 90-plus-year-old Carignan vines, reflecting the power and balance of the Languedoc terroir.
