Extrovert and spirited, Sagittarius animates this Grenache from vineyards nestled in the Dentelles de Montmirail. This unique expression of high altitude Grenache combines restrained power, freshness, and depth and is a perfect example of how Mourv?dre best compliments Grenache to create a very alluring red Rhone.
Tasting Notes: Made from altitude plots located in the Dentelles de Montmirail (90%Grenache, 10%Mourv?dre). This Gigondas is offering a great expression of its terroirs, ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, garrigue, incense and cedarwood, the mouth offers a superb tannic structure balanced by a nice acidity backbone. Long finish offering notes of blackberry and spices.
Vineyards: Two separate locations: ?Four Danuga? and ?Les Maurelles?. Ancient plantings of Grenache (90% of the blend) & Mourv?dre (10%) on sandy and loam deposits from the quaternary period.
Aging: Although this wine could be enjoyed young, it will only develop its full character much later. It will keep its freshness for at least 20 years after bottling.
Food Pairing: Beef, Veal, Lamb
