Domaine Chante Cigale (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Flowers, cherries, raspberries, and a touch of fennel create the perfume. Soft, juicy, and fresh, with sweetness, lift, and purity in the mid-palate, and in the finish, this is already a pleasure in your glass. The wine was made from a blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 5% Cinsault. Drink from 2024-2031. 502 Views Tasted Jan 30, 2024 |

Domaine Chante Cigale Extrait (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
With a nice depth of color for the vintage, the wine is ripe, spicy, polished, fresh and polished. There is a sweetness and depth to the dark kirsch on the palate with a touch of pepper in the endnote. This is one of the better wines of the vintage, due to the large portion of Mourvedre in the blend. Give this a year or two in the bottle and it will be even better.

Domaine Chante Cigale Extrait (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Deep, and dark in color, the wine is equally dark in fruit on the richly textured palate. The fruit smells and tastes as if it was smoked and covered with fresh black, cracked pepper. The wine is generous, rich, full-bodied and intense, as well as balanced, fresh, long and complex. The wine is packaged in an oversized bottle that stands out almost as much on the shelf as it does on your palate. The wine comes from a blend of 70% Mourvedre, paired with 30% old vine Grenache. Give this a few years in the bottle before you pull a cork. It should age quite nicely. Drink from 2025 - 2040 1,312 Views Tasted Jan 9, 2022 |

Domaine Chante Cigale Extrait (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
One of the darkest wines of the vintage, this is akin to tasting velvet drenched, peppery, dark, red fruits. Concentrated, long and lush, the fruit just coats your palate. But this is not ponderous, it's fresh, vibrant, pure, complex and juicy from start to finish. The wine is packaged in an oversized bottle with a wax capsule that stands out almost as much on the shelf as it does on your palate. The wine comes from a blend of 70% Mourvedre, paired with 30% old vine Grenache. 2,155 Views Tasted Sep 6, 2018 |

Domaine Chante Cigale Extrait (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
With a depth of color, and concentration of fruit to match, the wine has density, richness and complexity. The fruit really shows its purity while offering length and character. There is a lot of tannin here, but all that tannin is buried below the wealth of spicy fruit. The wine comes in a larger bottle with a wax capsule, hoping to make a statement about its place in the market, and on your table. The wine was made using blend of 70% Mourvedre, paired with 30% old vine Grenache. 1,401 Views Tasted Aug 21, 2017 |
