Domaine Les Grandes Costes Musardises 2021

This wine originates from the Languedoc region in southern France, specifically near the Pic Saint-Loup area. The terroir features a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, ideal for grape ripening. The soils, a mix of clay and limestone, contribute to the wine's balance of richness and freshness. Domaine Les Grandes Costes focuses on sustainable viticulture, producing wines that reflect the unique character of this diverse landscape.

The Musardises 2021 is a blend dominated by Cinsault grapes (60%), with additional contributions from other regional grape varieties Grenache (20%) and Syrah (20%). The style emphasises lightness and freshness, showcasing Cinsault’s delicate fruit and aromatic qualities. The wine undergoes traditional winemaking techniques with fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the fruit's vibrancy. Minimal intervention ensures that the wine retains its pure expression of the terroir. Aging occurs in vats to enhance the wine's freshness and maintain its soft texture.

The Musardises 2021 displays a bright ruby colour. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet of red berries, including raspberry and cherry, along with subtle floral notes. The palate is light and lively, with soft tannins and a crisp, refreshing finish.

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, light Mediterranean dishes, or grilled vegetables. Its fresh profile also complements charcuterie platters and soft cheeses. Serve slightly chilled to highlight its aromatic qualities.
