TASTING NOTES :  Dark crimson colour. Dark berry, leather and light spice aromas.Silky on the palate with powerful tannins.Excellent length. The STORY : This Gigondas is produced on our own domain and comes from a particular blend and vinification in order to bring out the fruit and smoothness that a Gigondas can have, tannic wine in essence.

LOCATION : Slopes shaped by human hand to provide a welcoming home for the vines. Nestled at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, which deep roots nourish those of the top of the appellation, Gigondas harbors wonders. . The grey limestone soils resulting from it provide unique and well-structured terroirs. These in turn produce red wines with aromas of brandied fruit, developing over time into earthy, truffled notes, while the complex, shimmering rosés display notes of red fruits, almonds, and spices. 

TERROIR : Well-exposed slopes that benefit from the micro-climate in the Trignon Valley. Grabel and limestone scree.

VINIFICATION : Hand-harvesting and partial de-stemming. Pumping over twice a day and temperature control.
