La Cigale Wines

The Cicada is something of a mascot in Southern France, and we see (and hear) plenty of them in Texas, hence the name La Cigale. Ed Proctor has been in business for 13 years. He says, ” Elenteny Imports has acted as our consolidator of foreign shipments for 10 of those years; they have enabled us to move LCL loads without waiting to fill containers. This allows us to be agile when reacting to changes in demand.”

It is well known that many of the world’s best-known, prestigious wines come from centuries-old chateaux and modern day architectural marvels owned by captains of industry, movie producers and multinational re-insurance corporations; we base our efforts on the belief that many other great wines come out of family vineyards where the owners toil in the fields and caves daily. The wines from these family producers are more likely to retain the sense of place that stamps them uniquely, and the cost of enjoying them is more reasonable when the bottom line takes back seat to personal pride in producing the best wines.

La Cigale has a unique portfolio of select French and Italian wines which has expanded to include wines from Argentina, Spain and the USA.  Ed’s vision is to continue to include new vintages saying “We are not done yet, but will always strive to bring wines of character that speak clearly of their terroir; we hope you will enjoy them”
