Charles Tort - Gigondas .75cl 2017 (Red)

Gigondas is not only a beautiful village nestled on the hills of Dentelles de Montmirail mountains but is also known for its famously known Cru (vintage).

 Grape Varietals : Parcel selection : 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre

 Soil : Cretaceous marl and limestone covered by stony red clay alluvium on the slopes and wide terraces.

Winemaking : Manual harvest and 100% destemmed grapes. Traditional winemaking in controlled temperature cement vats. Skin maceration for 15-20 days with pumping over and punching. Second malolactic fermentation to refine the tannins and extract most of the fruit.

Tasting notes : Deep red color with purple reflections. Aromas of red ripe fruits (red currant, blackberry, cherry) and plums with notes of licorice and spices. First notes are intense, generous and structured. It’s a raced subtle and elegant wine despite its robustness. It will seduce the wine learner as well as the connoisseurs.

Food pairing : Perfect match with venison, lamb, stews and marinated dishes as well as large array of cheese.

When to Drink: Serve between 18°et 20°C. Always great to drink but can be aged for up to 15 years.
