Profile & Story
Les Cigales dans la Fourmiliere is the estate of Julie Brosselin and Ivo Ferreira in Montpeyroux, Languedoc, farming about 10 ha organically on clay-limestone hillsides near the Larzac. Maree Basse is a co-ferment of Grenache Noir, Grenache Blanc and Muscat a Petits Grains: 3-7 days maceration in wood, spontaneous fermentation and 5 months maturation, bottled without fining, filtration or added sulfites (13% ABV).
Tasting Notes
Light ruby with violet glints; a nose of crunchy red fruits (cranberry, pomegranate, fresh raspberry) with Mediterranean herbs; the palate is juicy and bright with soft tannins and a clean, mouthwatering finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Saucisson, pate de campagne, grilled chicken, charcuterie, vegetable tians, pissaladiere, lamb merguez and soft cheeses.
