Gigondas
See Gigondas producers See a list of Gigondas wines
Gigondas has been renowned for the quality of its wines since Roman times although it was not really until Gigondas was classified as a Côtes du Rhône Villages in 1966 that it really began to realise its potential. It achieved AC status in 1971 and today produces some of the finest, most underrated and underpriced wines in the Rhône valley; although for the last two of these, probably not for long.
Gigondas's 1200ha of rugged vineyards are located east of Châteauneuf-du-Pape below the famous rocks, Dentelles de Montmirail. Gigondas produces sumptuous, plummy reds with a good structure and a sprinkle of pepper. It is similar to - if a touch less slick than - good Châteauneuf-du-Pape which, at its best, it can challenge and even surpass.
It is made with a maximum of 80% Grenache combined with at least 15% Syrah and/or Mourvèdre; the rest can be made of any of the varieties authorized for Côtes du Rhône, apart from Carignan. The wines can normally be broached after 2-3 years while the best repay ageing for 10 years or more. The region also produces dry, Grenache-dominated rosés which are good but can sometimes lack a little vitality.

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. This Gigondas is impressively concentrated with ripe, dark fruit and a fine tannic back drop. The underlying licorice, fennel and earth are all notes of a classic Gigondas, lending complexity which will more than satisfy the richness of hearty local fare. Drink 2011-2114. | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. This is a silky smooth wine. Juicy, sweet fruit dominates the generous, spicy nose whilst the traditional Gigondas grip is in evidence on the finish, but with gloriously ripe tannins. Hints of hedgerow fruit and black cherries add complexity to the harmonious, long finish. Drink 2011-2016. | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. La Gille has great elegance with notes of soft fruit, sweet black cherries and hints of chocolate. The wine is fine-boned with the emphasis very much on fruit rather than structure. This is a very pure and approachable Gigondas. Drink 2011-2015. | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. All of the top fruit has gone into one cuvée this year; the result, unsurprisingly, is very concentrated and long with a red and black berry fruit core courtesy of the Grenache, tempered by Syrah elegance and Mourvèdre power. This is a Southern Belle to be sure, and one with plenty ... MORE | ||||

Vines approaching full maturity (35-50 years) have engendered appropriate complexity. Nothing of the rusticity once associated with this appellation; the power and the glory remain however. Laurent’s best Gigondas thus far…praise indeed after his great 2005. (Simon Field MW - BBR ... MORE Drink 2008-2013 . | ||||

The year 2007 was a top rhône vintage, as good in the south as it was in the north, which explains why this hefty gigondas, with lots of ripe, tannic, smouldering spice and smoky black fruit, is such an impressive red. Born on the herb-scented hillsides near the Dentelles de Montmirail, this ... MORE Drink 2010-2015 . | ||||

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Rich, round fruit with hints of autumn berries and dark chocolate make this a mouth-filling and rewarding wine. The tannins are well enveloped by the sheer volume of fruit but purity is key here, as it is across the whole Montirius range. Drink 2012-2017. | ||||

With liquorice and violets on the nose, and a palate dominated by old vine Grenache, this is a sumptuous and powerful wine. Firm of colour and tannin, yet with an extreme underlying sweetness, this is very complete in every sense. (Simon Field M.W. - Rhône Buyer) Drink 2010-2017 . | ||||
