Les Foulards Rouges

Grape Variety: Cinsault

Producer: Les Foulards Rouges (Jean-Francois Nicq)

Region: Albères, Roussillon, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

12% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Cinsault grapes from 80 year old vines were harvested by hand. Whole bunch maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 6 months before bottling with no fining, filtration or added sulphur. 

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light to medium body. This is delicate but deep, I style I really love. Concentrated red cherries, with herbal and subtle spice notes. Elegant but with a nice rustic edge. So great for the price.

Notes on the Winemaker: Les Foulards Rouge is the natural wine project of Jean-François Nicq in Montesquieu-des-Albères, Roussillon, right near the border with Spain. He grew up in Northern France but moved to this area after meeting natural winemaking legends such as Thierry Puzelat (Clos du Tue-Boeuf) and Eric Pfiffering (L'Anglore) who encouraged him to start his own path in the viticulture world. He loves making delicate and balanced wines that reflect the Pyrenees terroir.
