A notorious cuvée from Jean-François Nicq, always released the October immediately following harvest, beating the famous Beaujolais Nouveau releases by a few weeks. It is incredibly youthful and fresh, bottled at pretty much the precise moment that grape juice magically becomes wine.
It's also something markedly different to what you'd typically expect from the Roussillon; what with the early harvest and the short production time, it's all bright, upfront juicy crushed fruit. A blend of 70/30 Syrah/Cinsault, the grapes undergo carbonic maceration before being put in old barrel for a short rest before bottling. It's a super-light red that you'll want to serve chilled.
