La Cigalette

Cairanne 55% Grenache; 40% Syrah; 5% Mourvedre

Domaine De Dionysos La Cigalette from the esteemed Cairanne appellation is a red blend that harmoniously brings together Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. This robust and full-bodied wine showcases an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackcurrant and plum, interwoven with tantalizing notes of black pepper, leather, and subtle hints of lavender. The Grenache imparts a delightful bright acidity, making each sip lively and mouthwatering, while the Syrah contributes deep, rich flavors and a beautifully structured, firm tannic profile. Mourvedre adds a touch of earthiness and spice, enhancing the wine’s complexity and ensuring a long, satisfying finish. This wine is not only a showcase of Cairanne's winemaking prowess but also a versatile, food-friendly choice, perfect for pairing with hearty meats and aged cheeses.

Region:

Côtes du Rhône

Many of France's best-value red wines come from Côtes du Rhône. The appellation covers the entire Rhône Valley, which is responsible for some of the country's boldest wines. Most Côtes du Rhône wine is red, ripe and fruity, made using a technique called semi-carbonic maceration (a method also used frequently in Beaujolais). This adds flavors of kirsch and even banana to the typical notes of black fruit, red fruit and Provençal herbs. Most grapes for Côtes du Rhône are grown on the warm, windswept plains of the Southern Rhône. And, as always for Southern Rhône wines, the GSM (Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre) blend reigns supreme.
