2022 Domaine Peter Sichel, Cucuniano Rouge, Vallée de Cucugnan, Languedoc

Description

Cucuniano is the ancient name of the village of Cucugnan. Made from 44% Syrah, 36% Grenache and 20% Carignan, this is a village blend from mostly south-facing vineyards on mountain slopes at 400 metres’ elevation. The beautifully herbal nose is framed by hedgerow berries; the palate is moreish yet delicate, like a summer pudding with mint and herbs. Chalky tannins linger and then resolve on the refreshing, juicy but restrained 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.
