Cyril & Jean‑Mi · Vin de France · Rouge · Languedoc, France · 2023

The Moment

This is the bottle you open when you want something crushable — fresh, alive, and made to disappear faster than expected. It’s a wine for relaxed tables, shared plates, and nights that unfold without a plan.

What It Feels Like

The nose is vibrant and expressive, opening with juicy red fruit — cherry, raspberry, and red currant — lifted by violet and a gentle earthy undertone that signals its natural roots.

On the palate, the wine is supple and energetic. Fleshy red and purple berries lead, followed by a distinctive sanguine, saline streak that gives the wine depth and tension. Hints of wild game, cracked black peppercorn, and soft baking spice add savory intrigue, all carried by mouth-watering acidity that keeps the wine bright and refreshing.

The finish is smooth and approachable, framed by soft, seamless tannins and a lively, peppery lift that invites another sip without hesitation.

Perfect For

Charcuterie boards with cured meats and aged cheeses
Grilled lamb, beef, or rustic sausages
Roasted eggplant, herby lentils, or creamy vegetable dishes
Anytime you want a red that pours easily and drinks even easier

The Vibe Pairing

Aura color: Light ruby, crushed berries, warm stone
