Awards: Selection Guide Hachette, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Grenache Noir dominates the blend of Gigondas Duc de Montfort, conferring finesse and mellowness. Syrah complements it, bringing structure, complexity and intense color. An expressive wine, with ripe plum and cherry fruit, chocolate and peppery notes, and a powerful palate of candied fruit and licorice. A must from Skalli!
