Gigondas


See Gigondas producers See a list of Gigondas wines See map

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.

Recommended Producer: La Bastide St Vincent.

The Perrins are attempting to fashion a wine of Burgundian charm, and the supple blueberry, raspberry and compote notes signal a conspicuous success. Purity and power are skilfully juxtaposed in this unexpectedly elegant style of Gigondas. MORE

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.

Now boasting two cuvées, Les Pallières is, in our opinion, one of the most improved of all Southern Rhône properties. A certain rusticity has been replaced in its Gigondas Vieilles Vignes manifestation by an attractive roundness of fruit with garrigue and black fruits to the fore. This is powerful and very complete MORE

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, Ready, but will keep, 15% alc.

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.

Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, For laying down, 15% alc.

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.
