Tasting note
Appealing crimson wine from the much-loved Rhône village of Gigondas, in the shadow of the Montmirail mountains, this is chocolatey and dotted with blackberries; rounded and powerful yet easy to drink.

Viticulture
The grapes for this wine are 100% hand picked and vigorously selected for ripeness before the picking begins.
Vinification
The grapes are crushed and destalked with no yeast added (the fermentation relies entirely on wild yeasts). The fermentations lasts for 15 days and the cap is punched down twice daily to aid the extraction of colour and tannin. The wine is then aged 60% in vats and 40% in 2 - 4 year old demi muids.
Food Match
A thick, grilled T-bone tames the tannins and sings with the peppery fruit.
