OpenSSL lists "CC, A9" as:

0xCC,0xA9 - ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH     Au=ECDSA Enc=CHACHA20/POLY1305(256) Mac=AEAD

Which is not AES_128_GCM.  The IANA registry seems to agree:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-parameters/tls-parameters.xhtml#tls-parameters-4

  0xCC,0xA9	TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256	Y	[RFC7905]
