Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière Rue de la Peste Co-ferment 2023

Country: France

Region: Languedoc

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Muscat/Syrah/Carignan

Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière is the domaine of Ivo Ferreira and Julie Brosselin. Based in Montpeyroux, in the Languedoc. Julie and Ivo make wines both separately and as a team. The wines are a wonderful expression of the French Mediterranean climate, reflecting the warm sun and proximity to the sea.

Rue de la Peste is a light and fruity co-ferment of red and white grapes that captures the spirit of the Mediterranean so much better than the heavier, high alcohol wines for which the Languedoc is better known. This light-bodied, peppery wine has good structure but does not dominate food, due to winemaker Julie Brosselin’s light touch in the winery. Unfined, unfiltered, with no added sulfur.
