Domaine Chante Cigale

Filter

                  As at many family domaines with deep roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, vigneron Alexandre Favier was by his own account “raised in the vineyards”: Alexandre’s grandfather, Noël Sabon, is from one of the best known winemaking families in the region. Alexandre himself began his viticultural studies in Orange at the age of fifteen and passed the exams four years later in 2001. A year later (at age twenty!) he took over winemaking duties at the domaine when his father experienced health problems. Today, Domaine Chante Cigale is one of the most important family estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

                  Raised amidst the vineyards, Alexandre Favier is part of a long line of winemakers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His grandfather, Noël Sabon, hails from one of the region’s most renowned winemaking families. Alexandre began his viticultural studies at the age of fifteen in Orange, completing his exams by 2001. Just a year later, at the age of twenty, he assumed full winemaking responsibilities at Domaine Chante Cigale when his father’s health declined. Today, Domaine Chante Cigale stands as one of the most important family estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

                  Extrait consists of 50% Roussanne and 50% Grenache Blanc. The Roussanne for Extrait comes from a very specific plot and the vines are over 40 years old. For a wine this unctuous and textured, the palate shows remarkable balance and freshness. Aromas of apricot, peach and citrus are complemented by some perfumed florals and well integrated, savoury oak. The finish is incredibly long and fresh.

                  Based on 50% Grenache Blanc and 50% Roussanne from the galets roulés of Cabrières and Palestor, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Extrait Blanc was vinified half in demi-muids and half in concrete tanks, then aged 10 months in the same vessels. It offers brilliant aromatics of white peach and stone fruits with a richer, layered, medium-bodied style. The wine has beautiful acidity, a pure, focused, elegant mouthfeel, and outstanding length. This absolutely brilliant white will have 20 years or more of overall longevity. There are a scant 100 cases produced. Drink 2025-2045.
