Region: France (Loire Valley or Languedoc, Vin de France)
Grapes: Gamay, Pineau d'Aunis, and/or other indigenous French light red varieties
Body: Light
Notes: Juicy and electric. Fresh raspberry, pomegranate, crushed violet, and a peppery, floral lift with zero grip and a bright, clean finish. "Cri du Loup" means howl of the wolf — and it goes down like one long howl.
Pairing: Charcuterie, grilled chicken, light pasta, mushroom dishes, or serve cold and drink fast.
Licorne Méchante — "the wicked unicorn" — is a small French natural wine project producing low-intervention, terroir-driven wines under the Vin de France classification, giving the winemaker freedom to work outside strict appellation rules and focus purely on expression. "Cri du Loup" is the estate's chillable red: a whole-cluster, lightly macerated light red made for maximum freshness, immediate pleasure, and zero ceremony. Fermented with native yeasts, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur, and designed to be drunk with a proper chill on it. The name and label carry the playful, irreverent energy that defines the best of the new generation of French natural wine — serious farming, serious winemaking, zero pretension in the glass.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
