"A classic representation of the appellation, Chante Cigale's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, from a mix of stony and sandy parcels. Aged mostly in foudres, with 20% in demi-muids, it offers up complex aromas of leather, dark fruit (plum), peppery spice and hints of clove and cola. It's full-bodied and rich, concentrated without being heavy, long and velvety on the finish."
