From hillside plots at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the vineyards of this Gigondas are nestled in an unspoilt environment bathed in wind and sunshine. A nugget in a resolutely modern, fine style. Racy, digestible, ample. Balanced, round, long, the tannins are fine and elegant. Enjoy now with lamb or merguez. A nugget not to be missed!
