The Gigondas is a blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%) and Cinsault (10%) grown on a place called the Grand Montmirail at an altitude of 400 to 520 meters. The grapes are destemmed, crushed and followed by a short infusion. The wine is matured in concrete tank.
Deep vivid red. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, incense and exotic spices pick up potpourri and mineral nuances as the wine opens up. Appealingly sweet and seamless in texture, offering vibrant, spice-laced raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that exhibit a suave blend of richness and energy. Shows sharp clarity and mineral lift on the impressively long, smooth finish, which is given shape by discreet, slow-building tannins.
