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: Load shedding
Unlike pumping over, the liquid part is completely removed from the tank before being poured over the marc. This allows for a better mixing of the solid particles and the juice.
