Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière

The name translates as the cicadas in the anthill, borrowed from folk-rock band La Rue Ketanou and meant as a reminder to make room for song and laughter through the grind of daily work. Behind it are Julie Brosselin and Ivo Ferreira, partners in life and wine, working roughly 10 hectares of scattered organic parcels in the high backcountry above Montpeyroux in the Languedoc.

Julie and Ivo pooled their skills and resources and started Les Cigales dans la Fourmilière in 2016 with 4 hectares of organic vines. As they took on more remote parcels in the Languedoc backcountry, the estate grew to around 10 hectares. Julie trained at Le Petit Domaine, while Portuguese-born Ivo had worked alongside respected names such as Jean-Marc Brignot and Chateau Le Puy, and the two brought that combined experience to a venture built, in their words, on love.
