Bruno Gigondan uses wild cultivation in his ancestral vineyard, leaving the vines to develop naturally with minimal pruning or intervention and with absolute respect for the environment and absolutely no chemicals. The vineyard is on flat table land with optimum exposition all day. Grapes are hand harvested at full ripeness before being de-stemmed and fermented for 10 days at low temperature. The wine is aged in tank for 18 months before a light filtration. Really exceptional value for money.
In the glass
Ruby red colour with a delicate, spiced, black pepper, berry fruit and mulled wine on the nose. Elegant soft tannins, ripe raspberry and blackberry fruits with undertones of cinnamon and thyme. Well balanced red fruit, with a spicy finish.
My go to Cote du Rhone - brilliant value for money
This wine is fabulous! I could wax lyrical about the fruit, spice and herb aromas, the soft tannins, flavours of blackberries and summer herbs but the bottom line is you won't regret buying this wine! It's just gorgeous ...... you may have guessed I'm a big fan of this wine.
