Description
Lanterne Rouge by Clos Fantine is a juicy, soulful red from the schist soils of Faugères, in southern France. A blend of old-vine Mediterranean varieties, this natural wine bursts with wild berries, plum, and a touch of herbal garrigue, carried by supple tannins and a mouthwatering finish.
Zero sulfur, zero fuss—just pure, living wine made by the Andrieu family, pioneers of no-additive winemaking in Languedoc. Lanterne Rouge is named after the last rider in the Tour de France: a tribute to the underdog, the patient, the poetic. Perfect for the table, the terrace, or a night with friends.
