TERROIR
Cuvée from a rigorous selection and manual harvest, of plots harvested
at full maturity in the middle and end of the harvest. This cuvée comes
from a selection of old vines
manually harvested.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Traditional vinification. Long cuvaison, about 1 month to a high quality
wine. Aged for 12 months in new barrels, Vosges oak (medium burning)
for the finesse of the aromas.
TASTING NOTES
The woody trilogy presented in heavy sommelier bottle, cork cap, dark
red pewter capsule. This red Gigondas has garnet reflections with a
strong colouring intensity.
A first discreet nose, then it reveals empyreumatic notes, presence of
spices and black fruits. After aeration we discover notes of gingerbread,
toasted bread, cocoa beans. The attack in the mouth is frank. The
well-present tannins present a good balance.
Long aging to soften and melt tannins is essential.
FOOD AND WINE PAIRINGS
Game, stew, lamb are indeed perfect allies of this undeniable cuvée of
Gigondas LaCave. After having tasted this Gigondas with your dish, do
not send it back to the kitchen if you have planned a dessert based on
chocolate. Try the wedding, the deal is perfect!
