A beautiful ruby-red wine with purple tones. In the nose, you will encounter lovely complex aromas such as cherries, plums, a lot of cinnamon, laurel, and black pepper. In the mouth, you will experience this as a dry wine with an above-average amount of tannins. These tannins are soft with a slight bitterness. The wine can continue to mature for several more years, becoming even softer with the addition of a leathery scent. This wine receives excellent reviews. Tip: do not let the wine become too warm.
Serving:
This wine pairs perfectly with game, duck breast, lamb rack, ribeye, .... Preferably open this wine at least an hour and a half before serving. Decanting/carafing this wine is highly recommended!
Serve at 16°C.
Storage:
It is ready to drink now if you prefer an intense wine, but it can be stored for at least another 5 years. The taste may not evolve much more, but tertiary aromas will develop.
Additional Information:
Nestled on the heights of the Massif des Dentelles de Montmirail, over 300 meters above sea level, the Cru Gigondas is one of the jewels of the Crus of the Rhône Valley. Le Pas is a rocky outcrop in the mountain that reveals the unique soil on which our vines are rooted. This exceptional terroir brings a lot of elegance to the cuvée, enveloped in a powerful and generous wine.
This wine is a blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes. The utmost care is taken in the vinification of this Gigondas, combining traditional methods and modern techniques. Our cellar master, who ensures the identity of the estate, vinifies the juices in stainless steel vats by carefully controlling temperatures to preserve the fruit and aromas.
Aged for about 10 months in barrels.
