Caizergues – ‘Les Voisins’ 13.5% ABV IGP Pays d’Oc

Pale with a tinge of green. Aromas of citrus and pineapple with some bright notes of acacia flowers and apricot. This wine’s full body is well-balanced by a crisp freshness. Its lengthy finish draws on citrus fruits such as kumquat and pomelo. A delightful accompaniment to seafood and dishes with herb sauces.

Using carefully selected grapes, this wine was made by our neighbours, Domaine Saint Hilaire – les Voisins - to our own exacting specification exclusively for our UK customers. 

• Caizergues is an old Languedoc name (Occitan) pronounced kai-zairg

• The domaine was once a silk farm

• The silk trade in France began in 1540, with Lyon its epicentre

• Francois Traucat, who we've named our top cuvee (Le Traucat) after, was a 16th century Nimes gardener and is credited for the intense cultivation of the mulberry tree (l'amorier) across Languedoc

• Our wines reference this heritage in the silk weave on the labels and the names of our references e.g., Le Papillon de Soie = the silk butterfly; Les Tisserands = the silk weavers; Les Magnarelles = the women who looked after the silk worms

• Outlier: Les Voisins = the neighbours - since we used their Vermentino and Viognier! However, the wine has been made to our specifications and by our winemaker and theirs.
