Lou’s Tour de France! #5 ✨🇫🇷
beraud, our South Bay and Peninsula sales rep, has been visiting the French wine regions to meet some of our producers. We invite you to come on board and discover our domains from Lou’s point of view, with fun facts and photos from her visits. 💃🏻
On this second-to-last stage of our Tour de France, we’re stopping off at . This domain is based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and has been run by the Favier family for generations. Their vineyards cover 50 hectares and are part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This appellation is the oldest AOP in France. Alexandre, even in his early 30s, has gained recognition from influential wine critics like Robert Parker. 🍇
Fun fact: Their cellar is in the former home of a parish priest. The estate is very old and their wines became famous thanks to the pope who lived in the Chateau on the hill and exported the wine. 🍷
Chante Cigale is a special estate because they use triangular concrete vats instead of round ones. ✨
