Gigondas Pallieres

This is the finest estate in Gigondas, sitting in its own glorious hidden bowl. Daniel and Frederic Brunier from Vieux Telegraphe are now proprietors of this wonderful estate, which is capable of producing not only the finest wine in Gigondas but possibly one of the finest in the Southern Rhone. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau de St. Cosme GIGONDAS Cotes du Rhone from France, Rhone, Cotes du Rhone by Chateau de St. Cosme Gigondas (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine Gondran Gigondas Grenache Rhone from France, Rhone, Gigondas by Domaine Gondran (12 x 75 cl)

Well balanced showing good structure this deep red coloured wine is a blend dominated by Grenache with a little Mouvedre. Aromas of sweet spices abound while the roundness in mouth and dark fruit flavours make this a wine of elegance through to the finish. Montirius's 50 plus hectares are farmed bio-dynamically according to the principles laid down by Rudolf Steiner 100 years ago. Unusually for this part of the world, there is not a stick of wood in the cellar. Here all the vats are concrete becuase Christine and Eric Saurel are adamant that wood interferes with the natural, mineral character of their wines. Owing to the lack of oxidation prior to bottling, these wines take a little while to come around, but when they do, they are very serious, withlayers of complexity and richness. (12 x 75 cl)
