White wine from Corsica! U vinu ùn dice nulla, ma palesa tuttu.
MusCaaaaaaat is a comet. A dry Muscat for foodies of all kinds, which you will enjoy with a Corsican sheep cheese, with a Corsican sheep to whom you will tell your crazy stories, with a Corsican who will express himself like an ancient poet reciting ephemeral verses.
gold with golden white tints.
smooth and harmonious texture, with notes of spring flowers, litchi, with a mineral finish (shale).
floral, ample.
well-aged Corsican sheep's milk tomme, its dry, salty paste meeting the walnut and the flor of the wine, with chestnut honey and a black fig barely split open, to reveal the Muscat flower that lingers beneath the oxidation of the wine.
Climate: Scorching heat, with record temperatures and persistent drought. The vines showed remarkable resilience despite extreme conditions.
Yield: Generally good, except in regions hit hard by drought like Languedoc and Roussillon.
General Profile: Rich, sun-kissed wines, ripe and concentrated.

This wine was created by Christophe Kaczmarek and Lisandru Leccia, winegrower from the eponymous biodynamic Domaine in Patrimonio’s heart (Cap Corse, North of Corsica).
The wines are made, blended, bottled and packaged on site. From the vine to the cellar, everything is done with the aim of respecting nature, regenerating the soils, promoting biodiversity and respecting the people who are part of it.

“From the very beginning, I was convinced by Caaaaaaat. First of all, the way Christophe shouts the name, again and again, you immediately sense there is an idea behind it. I was never worried that, in the end, the wines would be offbeat and built on strong convictions. And when I first tasted the Caaaaaaat wines, it was obvious. Free wines, original, yet approachable, with unbeatable price-to-pleasure ratios. From day one, the wines were an instant success at Le Sourire. The label catches attention, and then we can tell the story of the wine and the people behind it. Many times, customers bought a bottle saying ‘it’s for the joke’ or ‘my friend loves cats’. Then, not long after, they came back for more, simply because they loved the wine. In the end, there is no better compliment: when it’s good, you come back for it.”
Olivier Criou, Director at Miam Miam, Lithuania

Rachel Gay, France's Best Young Wine Merchant
“I remember the first time a Caaaaaaat landed in my glass. I said, word for word, ‘Whoaaaaa, I’m going to drink gallons of this stuff! Show me the label! Oh my gosh!’
It was Atomic Caaaaaaat, and I fell in love with the project. Then I met the creator, and it was love at first sight all over again.
Having a Caaaaaaat in your glass guarantees a good time, a great drink, and the chance to hunt for Easter eggs all over the label,all thoughtfully designed and crafted by a fantastic person who deserves to be in the spotlight!
Drink Caaaaaaat!”
