The 2022 harvest started september 1st and ended september 14th.
In Périgord like almost everywhere else in France, vines and grapes suffered from excessive heat with a temperature that rised above 36°C quite often.
On june 12th, a hailstorm destroyed some area in the vineyard up to 80% ! Hopefully, warm temperatures and lack of humidity that followed this hailstorm made it so there was no fungus or sickness on the grapes.
We lost quite a lot in quantity but quality will still be there !
This summer, CLO will attend 2 events to taste our wines:
- Every saturdays at 7pm from July 9th to August 27th 2022 at the city of Audrix (zip code : 24015) for their "Nocturnal tables",
- Every mondays at 7pm from July 11th to August 29th 2022 at the La Lénotte Camping in Monplaisant (zip code : 24170)
And of course, the domain "Chai" will be opened all summer as usual at Campagnac, contact us for wineyard tour and tasting !
In spite of the heatwave and a few technical issues, the 2021 harvest has been bottled on June 16th after a few months spent in oak barrels. This year we made a new numbered limited edition of our Chardonnay that we could translate to "The legend of Olivia" (around 600+ bottles coming from a special Chardonnay oak barrel that aged and refined differently).
A few days before, the 3L BiB (Bag-in-Box) were prepared with Sauvignon.
All of these will be on sale this autumn, book your bottles and/or boxes now, as usual, stocks are limited !
Domaine Chante l'Oiseau is proudly annoucing that our Viognier wine, "le 5è péché" vintage 2019, has been awarded a gold medal at the Concours de Vins Terre de Vins 2021 contest!

Meet us at the traditionnal Saint-Jean Bonefire, saturday June 22nd 2019 starting at 7pm at la Tour de Moncalou. Event organized by la Cave des Vins de Domme.
The grape-harvesting conditions of 2018 were exceptional.Having had no rain since the month of June, potential mildew of Botrytis and other fungal problems were limited and, despite the August heat which did certainly slow down the ripening process, the quality of the grapes has been superb.
As a result, therefore, we expect high quality wines with intese aromas.
Fermentation is now complete and the aging process in barrels has begun.
The 2016 vintages are now sold out with the exception of a few bottles of Viognier... so hurry, while stocks last ...!
The 2018 harvest should begin in late August, early September; the quality of the grapes looks very promising.
