Chante Cigale, Cicada Blanc 2023, Vin de France x3
An unusual blend of Viognier (30%), Picpoul Blanc (30%) and Grenache Blanc (40%). Sourced from clay limestone soils in Richerenes in the Vaucluse for the Grenache Blanc and Picpoul, with the Viognier sourced in the Northern Rhône (so the wine is classified as Vin de France).
Easy-drinking, unoaked and mouth-filling white with peach and apricot aromas on the nose, with a fresh, bright finish.
Mas Montel, La Petite Syrah 2022, Pays d’Oc x3
Located in Aspères, near Montpellier, the estate is owned and run by brothers Dominique and Jean-Philippe Granier. The soils of the 40-ha vineyards, known as Terres de Sommières, are varied, they consist of mainly red clay, limestone and pebbles and the site is well exposed to the sun and to the local winds (tramontane, mistral, marin). The Granier’s style is for juicy, approchable wines exhibiting charming fruit.
It has lovely, deep flavours of ripe plum, stewed red berries and light spices on the nose. The palate is richly textured and juicy with jammy blackberries, strawberry and cherry balanced by vivid freshness and soft tannins.
