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. 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 for a wine of its modest appellation, this cuvée’s non-confected flavor profile sets it apart from the herd of similarly priced Provence rosés.
