Chante Cigale Chateauneuf du Pape rouge Tradition 2019

- Tipp JoS: „Mittleres Rubinrot; attraktive Aromen von roten Kirschen, Kräutern, Beef Tartare, erdige Anklänge, Mineralien; am Gaumen fein und elegant, mit sanften Tanninen und einem bereichernden Biss;
 mittlere Säure, sehr mineralisch, wirkt leichtfüssig, balanciert, ruhig fließend, hat Klasse und Tiefgang, leicht wärmend, langer, mineralischer Abgang. Sehr gut! Unbedingt Dekantieren.
 Gabriel Glas. Am nächsten Tag noch einmal deutlich besser, saftig, herrlich zu trinken, ein genialer Partner zu einem Steak!“

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Single Tasting (5.10.2020), Matt Walls: „An intense, concentrated and dynamic style. Very well balanced, with a great sense of freshness and energy. 
Lovely firm acid line running through it, and a long finish. ONE OF THE BEST TRADITION CUVÉES THIS YEAR, AND CERTAINLY THE BEST CHANTE CIGALE TRADITION ROUGE I'VE TASTED from tank.
 Drinking Window 2022 – 2028.“

- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Panel Tasting (1.3.2022), Matt Walls: „Dark fruit notes, brooding and powerful, with hints of wild berries and savoury notes.
 Plenty of charm on the palate, generous style with soft tannins.  Drinking Window 2023 – 2035.“

- 93 Punkte winecellarinsider.com, Jeff Leve: „Layers of fresh, sweet, soft textured, polished, silky fruits are all over the place here. 
Wild elegance in the glass that finishes with savory spices, pepper, herbs and floral notes. Forward in style, this is a fabulous style of wine that is already quite charming to taste. Drink from 2024 – 2035.“ 

- 93 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Anna Lee C. Iijima: „Taut, bristling tannins and a rim of tobacco lend an upright feel to rich blackberry and black-fig flavors in this wine.
 A Grenache-dominant red blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault sourced from a diversity of soils, it's a smartly balanced wine calibrating power and ripeness against bright acidity and twists of savory resin,
 tar and coffee grinds. While tightly wound in youth it should open from 2025 and improve well through 2030.“

- 92 Punkte VINOUS, Josh Raynolds: „Deep, glistening ruby. Spice-accented dark berry and cherry on the nose, along with suggestions of garrigue, baking spices and licorice.
 Juicy black raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors show tight focus and become deeper and sweeter with air. The spicy note resonates on a clinging, energetic finish shaped by smooth, well-knit tannins.“

- 92 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape (65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault) 
offers a wonderfully pure, seamless style that carries lots of black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as Provençal garrigue, saddle leather, and peppery spice. 
Rounded, seamless, and beautifully done, it's a smoking classic Châteauneuf du Pape to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years.“
