The tasting |
|
|
Intense, powerful ruby reds. |
|
|
| |
|
Aromatic and elegant, with aromas of red and black fruits, notes of crushed strawberries and an airy, floral dimension. |
|
|
| |
|
The initial taste is juicy, rich and full-bodied, with fine tannins that lengthen the finish. A magnificent infusion of fruit on a fresh, flavorful frame. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A historic address in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine Chante-Cigale remains our absolute favorite regardless of the vintage! Alexandre Favier, the master of the estate, has given it a new momentum, supported by organic farming and a heritage of absolutely fabulous old vines. This address is currently producing exceptional wines, vibrating with the very essence of the greatest Châteauneufs!
A success that we have fully appreciated and that we follow each year with the release of the new vintage. |

Originating from a sandy terroir, the 2021 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pi is a true delight. A fragrant and floral red, with delicate fruitiness, consistency, and a full mouthfeel. The quality of the extraction is ideal, propelling fine and elegant tannins in a concentrated texture that remains extremely flavorful. A great bottle to keep for 15 to 20 years. A Committee favorite rated 94/100. |
