As with 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. 

This is a traditional house with 40 hectares of red grapes and 5 hectares of white. They have parcels on all of the main soil types of Châteauneuf and the top parcels are each vinified separately. Only native yeasts are employed in the cellar and the hand harvested grapes are double sorted before being destemmed and lightly pressed. The resulting wine is deep red in colour,  showing layers of black fruit and fragrant liquorice spice aromas. Powerful mouth, fleshy and concentrated with dense but very fine grained tannins.  

A wine that will preform well with roasted meats - pigeon, lamb or peking duck. Also a fine match with sheep’s cheese.

Domaine André Aubert, has been formed over decades and generations by one very passionate wine family and today comprises of more than 280 hectares spread from north to south of the prestigious Southern Rhone Valley on the appellations Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône villages, Visan, and Grignan-les-Adhémar. The Château Le Grand Retour property was purchased in 1999.

Château le Grand Retour is situated in the Plan de Dieu AOC. This geographical area is overflowing with very important pebbles left behind by the Rhône River from millennia ago. As the Aubert family says, this vineyard allows the vines to 'drink the sun and live on stones.'

A sumptuous blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre with rich fruit aromas of black cherry and raspberry. Notes of licorice and spice dominate the full-bodied palate and lead to a well-balanced and complex finish. This wine punches above it's weight in every class!

A great pairing with grilled lamb, stuffed eggplant, kebabs or köfte.

Sister’s Run is serious fun and serious wine. The talented, young winemaker Elena Brooks (of Dandelion Vineyards and Heirloom Vineyards fame) wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies - like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like!

Primary aromatics abound, calling out fresh, bright and lively berried fruits, red licorice, homemade jelly, and wild flowers. Additional notes of fennel and tar also reveal themselves in subtle, lifted shades. This red wine is an effortless three-step dance, with the pretty fruity notes of the Grenache leading on the palate, giving way to lightly peppery flavours from the Shiraz, all supported by the structure of the Mourvedre. The wine finishes with lingering notes of sweet oak spice.  

This red wine will deal with the most robust foodstuffs you can minister. Serve lightly chilled in warmer weather and as is when things get chillier.
