Domaine Luc Lapeyre is tucked away in Trausse, a sleepy little village in the Minervois that’s easy to imagine working from remotely this summer (yes, I went down an airbnb rabbit hole). Luc and his son Jean-Yves are passionate about farming organically and tuning into the biological rhythms of their vineyards. The inspiration for the “Les Pieds Rouges” cuvée comes from a family tradition of picking a few bunches of cinsault grapes to eat with Cantal cheese. Jean-Yves wanted to recreate the crunchiness of the fresh grapes in the glass and did so by foot stomping the grenache and cinsault, then fermenting in tank with a short carbonic maceration. No added yeasts or sulfur, just an honest wine with crunchy, vibrant fruit that’s juicy and refreshing. It was perfect alongside a meal of chouriço and royal corona beans, but would also be great for a picnic, bbq, or simply with a hunk of Cantal. Can take a light or heavy chill, depending on your mood.
