A notorious cuvée from Jean-François Nicq, always released the October immediately following harvest, beating the famous Beaujolais Nouveau releases by a few weeks. It is incredibl y youthful and fresh, bottled at pretty much the precise moment that grape juice magically becomes wine.It's also something markedly different to what you'd typically expect from the Roussillon; what with the early harvest and the short production time, it's all bright, upfront juicy crushed fruit. A blend of 70/30 Syrah/Cinsault, the grapes undergo carbonic maceration before being put in old barrel for a short rest before bottling. It's a super-light red that you'll want to serve chilled. *Natural and Organic Show more
