Domaine Gavoty Cigale Rouge nv

From the inland hills of Provence near Cabasse, this non-vintage release from Domaine Gavoty comes from one of the region’s longstanding family domaines, with viticultural roots dating to the early nineteenth century. The Gavoty family farms in the Côtes de Provence appellation on limestone and clay soils at comparatively elevated inland sites, where cooler nights help retain freshness in a warm Mediterranean climate. The “Cigale” range is conceived as an approachable house expression, drawing on the classic Provençal red palette of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan, with blending designed for suppleness and immediate drinkability. Vinification is typically in stainless steel and concrete to preserve fruit purity rather than oak influence. The wine offers bright red berry fruit, dried herbs, pepper, and a touch of garrigue, with soft tannins and a savoury, easy-flowing finish that suits the relaxed table culture of southern France.
