Domaine Chante Cigale Chateauneuf du Pape Magnum - A very classy wine indeed. This is an award winning top Châteauneuf du Pape. The wine has lots of warm red fruit and damson aromas, with cinnamon, spices and jam but also concentration on the palate; then liquoricey richness and elegance to finish. Domaine Chante-Cigale is owned by the Favier-Sabon family - it's been in their hands for generations and is one of the oldest in the region - and occupies some 40 hectares comprised of different parcels of land around the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, located between Orange and Avignon. Recently Christian Favier the father released the reins to his son, Alexandre, who is fast becoming new rising star of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Despite only being in his early 20's he has been lauded by notable journalists Steve Danzier in the US and Jancis Robinson in the UK. The wine has been aged for between 14-18 months in 'foudre' (large oak barrels), with 10% in new barrels and 30% in concrete vats. Try with traditional lamb or lentil and vegetable moussaka, and any rich hot-pot that heavily features 'herbes de Provence' or similar aromatic herbs. |
