The tasting |

Red of a beautiful intensity and brightness. |

|
| |
|
Harmonious perfumes around black fruits, spices, and dried flowers |

Creamy in texture, concentrated with pure and abundant aromas of fruit. This Gigondas with juicy tannins successfully combines the lacey aspect of Grenache with the sweetness and fragrance of ripe Mourvèdre. We salute its generosity, freshness and intensity. |

As the estate suggests: spit-roasted lamb baron, roasted quail with grapes, venison with cranberries, spelt risotto with mushrooms. |

A brilliant new success from Xavier Vignon! An international expert and leading advisor to the most successful Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, this seasoned winemaker makes his own wines according to his own personal criteria, with all the talent and success that we know him for.
On the highly-rated terroir of Gigondas, which has been elevated to the rank of Cru, he crafts an ideal wine with a modern profile, supported by great Grenache grapes (95% of the blend). A new achievement with an impressive quality-price ratio. |

The 2019 Red Gigondas is a complete success. The flavors offer a great harmony between black fruits, spices, dried flowers and delicate wood. The palate is balanced, and offers juicy tannins and a very creamy texture. It is a concentrated wine, served by a beautiful freshness, and pure and abundant aromas of fruit. The whole is very pleasant, praised for its generosity, freshness and intensity. Rated 93+/100 by our Selection Committee and 93/100 by Robert Parker, it simply cannot leave anyone indifferent. |
