Domaine Chante Cigale
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend


Dusty red fruit and burned earth. Totally rustic and perfect for a charcuterie plate and duck breast entree.
There is more acid than you'd expect but a wonderful finish that doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Come a long way in 2 years. Crushed rock and spicy mid palate. Tannins are still prominent but in a pleasing , grippy way. It gives the wine some testicular backbone. Gorgeous with time to go in the cellar

Oct 21st, 2017Beautiful wine, but needs time. Wet rock, huge spice but somehow subtle and exerting serious finesse. Would love to see in 5 years.

Just OK. Little "thin" for me. Wine was also served too warm in restaurant.

Mar 16th, 2015Fine, bright Grenache dominant blend. Nice now. Nicer in 5-10 years.

Smooth wine upfront and becomes heavier at end. Lots of dark fruit, with tabacco, earthy, and olives toward end. High alcohol @15%
