2022 Fat Cat 420 Vin de France Red Blend

Unleash the untamed spirit of Fat Cat 420 Vin de France Red Blend, a vibrant red from the sun-drenched Languedoc-Roussillon. Crafted by the organic grower Domaine Régazel, this blend of 80% Carignan, 10% Syrah, and 10% Grenache comes from 50-year-old vines on clay-limestone soils. Fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered, it radiates a medium ruby hue. Bursting with wild strawberry and black olive, it’s perfect for casual gatherings or rustic dinners. This lively, tangy wine is a bold, authentic expression of southern France.

Nose: A rustic bouquet erupts with tart red cherry, blackberry, and wild herbs, accented by black pepper and a touch of dusty earth. It’s bold and untamed.

Palate: Medium-bodied and juicy, the palate sings with tangy wild strawberry, black cherry, and black tea. Bright acidity and grippy tannins create a vibrant, balanced structure. Purely expressive.

Finish: The finish lingers with red fruit and a mineral, olive-like edge. It’s lively, urging another sip with rugged charm.

This red blend is a versatile delight. Pair it with grilled sausages or lamb chops for a hearty match. It shines with Mediterranean dishes like ratatouille or olive tapenade. For a casual vibe, try it with charcuterie or aged Manchego. Its tangy vibrancy makes it a stellar companion for bold, earthy flavors.
