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.

Recommended Producer: La Bastide St Vincent, Domaine Montirius

SHOW NOTE HIDE NOTE
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, Ready, but will improve, 15.5% alc. The 2009 Gigondas Tradition (a classic blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 5% Cinsault) is a powerful and muscular wine, with notes of tar, garrigue, ripe plums and autumnal bonfires. With towering tannins, this has savoury subplots and plenty of intrigue.

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.

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Southern Rhône Blend, For laying down, 14.5% alc. The Costevielle sees a percentage of new barrique and is only made in fine vintages. It is a more modern style, certainly, but behind the creamy red fruit façade, the signature of fine Gigondas is evidenced, flowing across the page with elegance and the occasional flourish.
