Although we've used Cinsault from Oc for many, many years, this is the first vintage that we’ve bottled Cinsault on its own. This is characteristically fragrant, fine-boned and croquant, meaning “crunchy”.
A range of wines that express the character of their grape varieties in Guillaume's preferred style, hence 'Selon Létang' (according to our winemaker Guillaume Létang).
This 'croquant' Cinsault is bright and deliciously enjoyable. Unoaked, vibrant redcurrant and raspberry fruit with a wild, delicately tannic herbaceous edge.
Delicious slightly chilled, this Cinsault's bright, earthy notes and acidity marries beautifully with Asian duck dishes, beef or game.
Please note that all case deals can take between 7-10 days for delivery.

Selon Létang Cinsault: “Youthful in colour – the nose suggests ripe wild strawberry with a distinct florality too. Ripe and youthful – wow – very different there is a sweetness here but perhaps more of a ripeness. Like candied red cherry, Parma violets and a smoky earthy note just behind it. Young and sweet but really interesting. 15.5pts” Alistair Cooper MW for JancisRobinson.com (19th Oct 2021)
