The wine region of Gigondas
Full-bodied cru of the southern Rhone at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail: signature Grenache as king red (>=50%) with Syrah and Mourvedre — powerful and sun-soaked with notes of candied black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, plum), garrigue, kirsch, spices, licorice and pepper, dense tannins and a long finish (14-15% alcohol), more structured than Chateauneuf. Lively roses. AOC (1971), ~1,200 ha on the eponymous village (Vaucluse), limestone and clay-sandy soils, ages 5-15 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
