Ollier-Taillefer's Allegro comes from 11 acres of vines and is raised entirely in tank. In some years the malolactic fermentation is blocked but often it's not, and regardless the wine is shockingly fresh and pure for a white from the south-- there's no sense of heaviness here.
Appellation status was granted to Faugeres for white wine in 2005 (red and rosé were accorded AOC in 1982) and only around 2% of what Faugeres produces today is white wine.
