Raised amidst the vineyards, Alexandre Favier is part of a long line of winemakers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. His grandfather, Noël Sabon, hails from one of the region’s most renowned winemaking families. Alexandre began his viticultural studies at the age of fifteen in Orange, completing his exams by 2001. Just a year later, at the age of twenty, he assumed full winemaking responsibilities at Domaine Chante Cigale when his father’s health declined. Today, Domaine Chante Cigale stands as one of the most important family estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Vinified and aged in an ovoid concrete vat, this wine is sourced from an exceptional terroir. A classic blend of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, it opens with a pure, mineral nose, marked by a saline quality and layered with aromas of white-fleshed peaches and stone fruits. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious balance of power and elegance, with luscious hints of peaches and cream. Bold yet refined, this wine has the potential to age beautifully for up to 10 years.
Savour this delicious wine with Provencal and Mediterranean cuisine, foie gras, lobster, scallops or king prawns.
