2016 Domaine Chante Cigale 'Vieille Vignes' Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Winemaker Notes:  The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. Aged in a combination of demi-muids and older barriques, it shows some smoky notes on the nose, with hints of garrigue, cherries and stone fruit. Full-bodied, rich and velvety on the palate, it closes with more fruit than spice.
