Domaine la Garigue Gigondas 2020

70 % Grenache, 25 % Syrah, 5 % Mourvèdre

$30.00

Dark garnet in colour. Rich and complex bouquet with aromas of red fruits, pepper and cocoa. On the palate, the wine delivers lovely red fruits and pepper that are coated in firm, but fine tannins giving way to a delightful fresh finish. The wine can be drunk young with food that combines well with its tannins. It is best enjoyed 5 to 8 years from the vintage date when the tannins soften, thus allowing the fruit complexity to dominate.

Producer profile

The Rochette family has been cultivating vines for five generations. The current owner, Vincent Rochette was the first to ferment their grapes when he built a cellar in 1998. His father had embraced organic methods, and Vincent was always convinced that wines should be grown as naturally as possible. He believes that healthy, vibrant vines that are cultivated without chemicals will, over time, strengthen their own defences against illness and produce grapes that are less prone to problems in the cellar, thus requiring less intervention in the wine making process.

terroir

This Cuvée is made with grapes from old vines that are between 30 and 60 years old which are situated on the slopes at the entry of the estate. The soils are mainly clay-limestone marl with some sand.
