----------------------------------------
Domaine Chante Cigale is located within the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and has been owned by the Sabon Favier family for several generations. Consisting of 41 hectares, the domaine benefits from old vines, some of which are veritably ancient at over 100 years old. Alexandre Favier took over from his father, Christian, and is part of a new wave of producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, combining modern technical expertise with time-honoured winemaking practices.
Alex Favier sources the grapes for his Vin de France Rouge from land the family owns in the Vaucluse; grapes for this come from 2 lieu-dits in Travaillan to the west of Gigondas – La Marteillère with clay soil for the Grenache & L’Hers on limestone for the Carignan, vines are 30 years old. Hand-harvested and de-stemmed, short maceration in concrete for the Grenache plus aging in 5 yr old Burgundy barrels for the Carignan to round out the tannins.
Tasting note: Fresh, ripe red berries with a touch of forest floor on the nose. Robust flavours of red and black cherries, a pinch of spice and some smooth tannins, definitely punching above its modest Vin de France classification.
Food match: Great on its own or with pasta, grilled lamb or ratatouille.
