This cuvée is a very light expression of the Cinsaut grape variety (spelled the ancient way). Vincent believes a short maceration allows for the grape’s distinct flowery nose to finally take its seat at the proverbial table, balancing delicate aromas with intensely juicy, slightly carbonic notes on the palate. The slight sprinkle of Grenache serves as a sort of fairy dust, adding length to guarantee a happy finish in your mouth.
70% Cinsaut (50 yr old vines), 30% Grenache 50 years (35 yr old vines). Aged for 2-3 months in stainless steel or resin tanks
