Description
Domaine Peter Sichel is located in Cucugnan, a remote corner of the Languedoc in the South of France. We are delighted to highlight the estate and its sustainable approach. Made from 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this red has a fresh, youthful colour and is full of red cherries on the nose. Despite the depth of fruit aromas, this still feels so fresh, with a mineral edge. The palate has a juicy blackberry quality and a soft, gentle feel to the fruit, all offset by beautifully fine acidity. A stone-pure lift completes the long, succulent finish.

Domaine Peter Sichel
Tucked away in a hidden valley in a remote corner of the Languedoc-Roussillon lies a truly special place: the village of Cucugnan. Historically, there was much wine produced here, given its isolated location, but gradually the local people moved away to the towns. There are now just 130 people living in the village. As the vineyards were left mostly abandoned, the local flora and fauna were permitted to thrive. Cucugnan became a unique area, full of biodiversity, which shines through in the rare plants and flowers that grow there today.
