"A vintage not to be missed!

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. Balanced, full-bodied, round and long, with fine, elegant tannins. Enjoy now with duck parmentier or lamb confit.
