Red wine | Gigondas AOC

A Gigondas from old high-altitude vines
The plots from which this red blend is produced are among the highest in the Gigondas appellation. The altitude, associated with the age of the vines, produces concentrated, distinguished grapes with a very particular finesse. Blackcurrant and raspberry mingle with Mediterranean herbs, and the power melts into a silky finish.

Gigondas Domaine Grand Romane

CHF 22.90 (75cl)

Colour

Deep ruby to dark purple.

Nose

The aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, morello cherry) and candied red fruits with vanilla (raspberry, redcurrant) join the toasted flavors of thyme, bay leaf, rosemary and black olives.

Palate

Powerful and velvety attack. The fruity and spicy flavors blend harmoniously, supported by a well-integrated acidity which brings freshness and liveliness to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation in the mouth.

Wine-growing terroir

This wine is made from a fusion of old Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah vines, ensuring complex aromas, captivating power and remarkable distinction. Peppery spices intertwine with candied black fruits. The terroir is fully expressed by silky tannins, notes of garrigue and black olive. The generous and velvety structure reveals authentic finesse and promising aging potential.

Winemaking

Manual harvesting is essential to meticulously select the best clusters, which often ripen later than the rest of the vineyard. Grenache and Syrah undergo traditional vatting, while Mourvèdre benefits from whole grain maceration to develop its capricious and generous character. After blending, the wine is aged for 18 months in barrels (45% old barrels and 15% new) as well as in tuns (40%) to soften and harmonize the powerful tannins. It is then bottled without filtration.

James Suckling This has the full body, concentration and spicy complexity that we expect from this appellation. Excellent interplay of elderberry fruit with licorice, wild herb and chocolate character and powerful but plush tannins. Bold but polished finish. A cuvee of 60% grenache, 25% mourvedre (all whole cluster) and 15% syrah, the older vines planted during the 1950s. Bottled unfiltered. This should age very well. Drink or hold.

Pierre Amadieu

Pierre Amadieu was a pioneer in 1929 when he marketed his Gigondas wines. The years passed and the estate grew, becoming the largest private vineyard in the appellation. Many family members take care of their heritage, now certified organic. In Gigondas, the house's precious high-altitude vines produce remarkably balanced wines.
