Domaine Gavoty Vin de Pays du Var Rose 'La Cigale' 2023
Twenty of Gavoty’s 50 hectares of vines are classified as Vin de Pays du Var, as they are situated on flatter land than the slopes used for their Côtes de Provence cuvées. Built around Cinsault with a smaller proportion of Grenache, “La Cigale” (named for the ubiquitous cicadas that populate the region) is charmingly juicy yet salty and dry, with nice length for a wine of its modest appellation. Furthermore, its adamantly non-confected flavor profile sets it apart from the herd of similarly priced Provence rosés.
