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.
