Chante Cigale Chateauneuf du Pape blanc Extrait 2022

- Notizen des Weinguts: „Vinified, aged in an ovoid concrete vat and selected from an outstanding terroir: this wine is truly “Haute Couture”. Food pairing: Provencal and Mediterranean cuisine, foie gras, lobster, scallops, king prawn. Temperature of service : 10°C to 12°C. Aging potential : 10 years.“

- 95 DECANTER, Matt Wall (09/2023): „A touch smoky, flinty, this is tight and tense on the palate, dry and savoury. It's really quite focused, never overly fat, with a long, straight finish. Should age with interest. Domaine Chante Cigale continues to rise up the rankings of white Châteauneuf producers – consistently excellent. Perfect balance. Fermented then aged for 10 months in demi-muids. Just 850 bottles made.“ Drinking Window: 2023-2030

- 92 Punkte, JEB DUNNUCK (10/2023): „Stone and apple-like fruits, some sappy herbs, and a kiss of minerality all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Extrait Blanc, a medium-bodied, focused, elegant white that's based on 70% Grenache Blanc and 30% Roussanne. It will drink nicely for 3-5 years. 2023 – 2028“

Bewertung für den Jahrgang 2020:
- 93 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „The more Roussanne-dominated (there's 30% Grenache Blanc) 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Extrait Blanc is similarly light gold and offers exotic notes of Meyer lemons, chamomile, toasted bread, and white flowers. It's another beautifully balanced, elegant, vibrant white from this team that's well worth seeking out. It should be even better with another year in bottle.“
