The Cicada takes its name from the emblem of the Domaine – Chante Cigale – the famed ‘singing cicadas’ of Provence.
What the French have to label as a Vin de France it is so much more than that.....an unusual blend of Viognier (40%), Picpoul Blanc (30%) & Sauvignon Blanc (30%).
Sourced from clay limestone soils in Richerenes in the Vaucluse for the Sauvignon and Picpoul, with the Viognier sourced in the Northern Rhône (so the wine is classified as Vin de France). Vinified in stainless steel, with a short maceration of one week. Alex Favier then puts the final blend together.
Cicada Blanc by Chante Cigale Vin de France is easy-drinking, unoaked and not too serious but still a properly flavoursome white wine with lovely aromatics on the nose, nice weight on the palate and a fresh, bright finish.
Great with slightly spiced foods and when it comes to cheese it's very versatile pairing with Ashcombe.
