Domaine Chante Cigale Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2019

Slightly more Grenache-dominated, the old vine 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre brought up 80% in foudre and 20% in demi-muids.

A beautiful perfume of wild strawberries, ripe black cherries, licorice, ground pepper, and bouquet garni all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied and has tons of Provençal charm, ripe tannins, and a great finish.

It shows the firmer edge to the tannins that can be common in the vintage, but this beauty is loaded with charm.
