Chante Cigale Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2023 375ml

A generous, sunny, and complex aroma. A burst of overripe red and black fruits—cherry jam, blackcurrant, plum, fig. Quickly, classic notes of garrigue (Provençal herbs: thyme, rosemary), black pepper, licorice, and a light smokiness unfold. In the background, a mineral coolness of stones and chocolate depth are perceptible. Powerful yet rounded. On the palate, there are concentrated jammy fruits that do not seem cloying thanks to a pleasant alcoholic warmth and ripe, silky tannins. The acidity is moderate, so the wine feels fleshy and voluminous. The texture is velvety and dense. The finish is very long, with persistent notes of ripe fruit, spices, licorice, and a stony mineral undertone.
