Caizergues – ‘Les Magnarelles’ 13.5% ABV AOP Languedoc Red 75cl
Deep ruby red in colour, this medium-bodied red has intense, aromatic notes of black fruits on the nose and is refreshingly lively and fruity on the palate. Pairs beautifully with lamb, pork and roasted chicken.
• Caizergues is an old Languedoc name (Occitan) pronounced kai-zairg
• The domaine was once a silk farm
• The silk trade in France began in 1540, with Lyon its epicentre
• Francois Traucat, who we've named our top cuvee (Le Traucat) after, was a 16th century Nimes gardener and is credited for the intense cultivation of the mulberry tree (l'amorier) across Languedoc
• Our wines reference this heritage in the silk weave on the labels and the names of our references e.g., Le Papillon de Soie = the silk butterfly; Les Tisserands = the silk weavers; Les Magnarelles = the women who looked after the silk worms
• Outlier: Les Voisins = the neighbours - since we used their Vermentino and Viognier! However, the wine has been made to our specifications and by our winemaker and theirs.
