Domaine Gavoty, Var La Cigale Rosé (2023)

Type Wine - Still - Rosé
Producer Domaine Gavoty
Region Provence, France

Gavoty Cigale Rose - With vines averaging 15 years of age, “La Cigale” (named for the area’s ubiquitous cicadas) comprises 80% Cinsault, 10% Grenache and 5% each Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Charmingly juicy yet salty and dry, with nice length, this cuvée’s non-confected flavor profile sets it apart from the herd of similarly priced Provence rosés.

Surrounded by oak and pine forests and bordered by the Issole, Domaine Gavoty is a polycultural farm encompassing 110 hectares in total, and the family has worked the land without synthetic chemicals for decades, obtaining organic certification in recent years
