Domaine Gavoty La Cigale Rose, IGP Var, France 2024 Case (6x750ml) Valdo Spumanti but it’s a brilliant wineTwenty of Gavotys fifty hectares of vines are classified as Vin de Pays du Var, as they are situated on flatter land than the slopes used for their Ctes de Provence cuves. Built around roughly equal proportions of Grenache and Cinsault, with a small amount of Carignan and a splash of Syrah, 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.
