Cigale Cicada Rouge (France)

The Cicada takes its name from the emblem of the Domaine – Chante Cigale – the famed ‘singing cicadas’ of Provence. 

80% Grenache and 20% Carignan

Hand-harvested and de-stemmed, short maceration in concrete for the Grenache plus aging in 5 yr old Burgundy barrels for the Carignan to round out the tannins.

A lively fruit forward red with dark cherry flavours and a touch of spice. Fresh, ripe red berries with a bit of forest floor. Some softly, boisterous tannins. Lovely balancing acidity completes the picture.

Great on its own or with pasta, grilled lamb and ratatouille. Goes perfectly with chocolate cake aswel!
