A local wine from Cayx, La Cigaralle comes from the 4 hectares of Chardonnay planted, mostly on the limestone terraces around the château. "Cigaralle" is an old word probably from Catalan and used in Aquitaine and Occitanie to describe a pavilion built in a park or a pleasure garden where you can hear the song of cicadas.
The grapes undergo mechanical harvesting, direct pressing, cold settling, thermo-regulated fermentation in stainless steel vats and aging on the lees.
This vintage reveals a complex and expressive nose, with notes of exotic fruits and white flesh fruits.
On the palate, there is a good volume, round, slightly buttered, a beautiful mineral base supported by freshness.
Ideal as an aperitif, with seafood and shellfish.
