100% Cinsault from old vines in Costières de Nîmes.
Cinsault is one of the Southern Rhône’s best-kept secrets, and this cracking little number from Mas des Bressades is a terrific reason to get acquainted. While Grenache and Syrah tend to steal the limelight, Cinsault offers a different kind of pleasure: fragrant, vibrant and beautifully supple, with a freshness that makes it dangerously easy to enjoy.
Expect a lovely burst of ripe red cherries, raspberry and wild strawberry, with hints of Mediterranean herbs and gentle spice. The palate is juicy and silky, with fine, soft tannins and a lively finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Think southern French sunshine without the heavyweight structure — a wonderfully versatile red for everything from charcuterie and roast chicken to a simple midweek pasta.
Mas des Bressades is a respected family estate in Costières de Nîmes, in the southern Rhône, where Mediterranean sunshine and varied soils produce wines full of character. Les 5 Sens showcases the charm of 100% Cinsault, offering a refreshing alternative to the region’s more familiar reds.
