Couscous - 2023 - Lolita Sene
Domaine Lolita Sene
Lolita likes to offer us UFOs with each vintage: in 2023 Couscous Blanc is the one! Direct-pressed Cinsault: it's already unusual, then with only 9.5% alcohol... truly unique! Pure freshness, thirst-quenching, it's a summer hit.

100% Cinsault from young vines grown organically, planted on limestone soils near Rochefort-du-Gard. Manual harvest in mid-August, followed by a natural vinification without inputs: direct pressing in a pneumatic press, which makes it a Blanc de Noirs (a white one made of red grape varieties!). Short aging in vats, bottled at the estate without fining or filtration, zero added sulfites.
