DESCRIPTION

This Gigondas from Maison Lavau originates from the cretaceous limestone plots on the foothills of the appellation. With northern exposure, these plots are the perfect partner for old vines of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The bouquet is full of the typical flavours of the Gigondas appellation like blackcurrant and raspberry jam. It is then intensified by notes of spice (black pepper and nutmeg). The palate is voluptuous, solid and long-lasting. To be paired with guinea fowl, a coq au vin, a beef stew or any spice-forward meal.

REGION

Rhône

France

One of France's oldest wine-growing areas, the Rhone is a powerhouse of wine production. Stretching 150 miles across France from Lyon to Provence, the region is home to over 6000 wine-growing properties. Here, red wine is king - 90% of the grapes grown in the Rhône region are red, with varieties like Syrah, Grenache and Roussane amongst the most prolific. The region is equally famed for its gastronomy - and with such a variety of wines available, you're sure to find the perfect bottle to match!
