Chante Cigale means singing cicada. The property has been in the same family since the 19th century and is currently run by Alexandre Favier, who assumed the reins at the ripe old age of 20! The domaine is planted to 40 ha of red and 5 ha of white grapes on 45 different parcels throughout the appellation. The "Pi" is all from a single sandy plot in the lieu-dit of Pignan, one of the most prestigious growing areas. It is 100% Grenache from vines averaging 40 years of age. All grapes are hand harvested and after fermentation, the wine is aged 15-18 months in large oak cask before bottling.
