Origin
Gigondas is an often-underrated red wine appellation in the southern Rhône. This privately owned estate also has vineyards in Sablet, Lirac and Rasteau.
Taste
An elegant nose of black fruit is followed by a remarkable palate of blackcurrant, thyme, liquorice and tobacco characters.
Enjoy
Warming peppery spice on the finish makes this perfect with casseroles.

    Decent at the offer price

    As the Southampton branch staff know I am a fan of Rhone wines and this is a decent example. It has a very alcoholic nose - which I would not describe as "elegant" - and soft Grenache-dominated fruit giving way to a pleasant finish with lingering spice notes.

Staff Reviews

  • A taste Of The Hype

    "It is generally acknowledged in the wine world that 2010 was a bona-fide success story across France. In the Rhone Valley producers are calling it legendary, up there with the immortal 78's; some of the best balanced wines ever made. This is your chance to try this amazing vintage at a price mere mortals can afford. This blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah from an old, family run domaine shows liqourice, raspberry liqour, roasted herbs and a touch of earth on the nose leading to a chunky, grippy palate of cloves, blackberry and violets. Hedonistic now, it will only improve over the next 5-10 years."
