Aromas: Expect vibrant aromatics of white flowers, peaches, and apricots, which come from the Muscat grapes. Some notes describe a musky peach nectar quality.
Flavor: The wine is described as having a nectar-like quality. The 2 weeks of skin contact give it a subtle tannic structure, while bright acidity and a touch of salinity create a complex and balanced palate.
Texture: The skin contact also provides a lovely textural quality and a gorgeous amber or orange color.
Grapes: The wine is a blend of Muscat à Petit Grains and either Grenache Blanc or Terret Bouret, depending on the source.
Food pairing:
The Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière Escarpolette Blanc 2024 is a wonderfully versatile orange wine, making it an excellent partner for a variety of dishes
. Its bright acidity, subtle tannins, and nectar-like quality complement a wide array of cuisines. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, from simple grilled fish to richer preparations. The wine is also a natural match for Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, where its saline quality and apricot notes can complement savory, flavorful dishes. A classic and particularly inspired pairing is the traditional Provençal fish stew, bouillabaisse, where the wine's depth and structure stand up to the rich, saffron-infused broth.
