The estate and the wine
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.
Wine 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.
Vinification Harvested by hand. Berries infused for 18 to 24 days with light punching down and pumping over. Aged in French oak foudres for 15 to 18 months.
