MAISON LAVAU GIGONDAS
$32.50
TASTING NOTES :
Deep on the nose with pronounced spicy aromas (pepper, nutmeg), typical of the appellation and which accentuate the aromas of blackcurrants and raspberry jam.
On the palate, the wine shows a solid yet nicely coated

Wine Information
LOCATION : This wine comes from parcels located on
Gigondas’ terraced slopes, facing directly north, at the foot
of the famous Dentelles de Montmirail.
VINEYARDS AND TERROIR :
The old Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre vines are
planted on fairly poor, calcareous-marl soils, resulting in
late ripening grapes and powerful wines
GRAPE VARIETIES : Grenache noir (50 %) Syrah (40 %) Mourvèdre (10 %)
PRODUCTION :
The grapes are entirely de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled vats to macerate for around 28 days
with two rack-and-return operations at the start of fermentation, followed by two pumping-over operations per
day. 55 % of the wine is aged in vat, and 45 % in 450L
barrels previously used for 1 or 2 vintages, for a period of
12 months, before being blended with the vat-aged wine
TASTING NOTES :
Deep on the nose with pronounced spicy aromas (pepper, nutmeg), typical of the appellation and which accentuate the aromas of blackcurrants and raspberry jam.
On the palate, the wine shows a solid yet nicely coated
structure, volume and superb length.
SERVING AND FOOD PAIRINGS :
Serve at 17-18 °C to allow the wine to express its full
complexity. Decanting before serving would also be benefcial. This Gigondas can be paired with guinea fowl,
coq au vin, a beef stew or casserole, and other prepared
dishes, even if spicy or highly seasoned.
