Gigondas

Full

Cork

Smoked duck on the nose, there’s amazing life and sweet fruit still on the palate. Anise, fennel seed, with a little sweet plum flavour. Still alive and kicking - amazing for a 50-year-old Gigondas. Made from a number of parcels around the appellation, and was whole-bunch fermented. It was made at the time by Georges Faraud, and the estate is now run by his three granddaughters, Delphine, Cendrine and Rosaline.
