Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Pi”

2020

New! The "Pi" comes from forty year old Grenache vines in the famous Pignan parcel. Pignan has sandy soils, giving the wine elegance and finesse. It's aged for twelve months in oak barrels. Total production averages 1,400 bottles. 2017 was the first year that the "Pi" was made.

"All foudre-aged Grenache from the lieu-dit of Pignan (sud), Chante Cigale's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape PI is a silky, elegant, easy-drinking expression of the region loaded with raspberry and cherry fruit. It's full-bodied but seems almost airy and supple, with a long, silky finish that doesn't lack for intensity. Despite it's early-drinking deliciousness, it might even improve in a few years."
