2Miss Piggy Blues2024
Miss Piggy Blues is Le Bouc à Trois Pattes' most playful wine — Cinsault and Muscat co-fermented for an aromatic and lively red that can be served chilled. Muscat's florality meets Cinsault's freshness — an unusual combination that works surprisingly well.

About Le Bouc A Trois Pattes
Wim Wagemans is Belgian and found his place in Mons-la-Trivalle in the Haute Vallée de l'Orb in 2006 — a valley setting close to Axel Prüfer and a handful of other natural wine producers who have built a small scene in the mountainous northern part of Languedoc. The vineyard sits at 305 metres altitude on clay and limestone. The cooler climate — cold nights, northerly wind — gives the grapes more acidity and finesse than coastal Languedoc. Wim uses only indigenous yeasts and has added no sulphites since 2013. The blends vary from year to year. Sometimes destemmed, sometimes not. Experimentation is part of the idea — each vintage is a new possibility. The varieties range from Carignan and Cinsault to Chardonnay and Riesling. The orange wines from Le Bouc à Trois Pattes are particularly well regarded.
