Description
We are delighted to highlight the sustainably focused approach at the inspirational Domaine Peter Sichel. The estate is in Cucugnan, a remote valley in the Languedoc, South of France. Only 2,000 bottles were produced of this delicious white wine, made from 100% Roussanne.
The nose is so pure, with fresh yellow peach and apricot aromas. The palate is layered and ripe but still so fresh, with a glorious texture. There is a crystalline quality to the mineral freshness here. The wine leaves a refreshing white stone-fruit freshness on the long finish.
It is delicious.

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.
