We consider Guigal’s Gigondas the “quiet storm” among their village wines. While they have been widely known for their Chateauneuf-du Pape also produced in the Southern Rhone and they are increasingly important in Crozes-Hermitage in the North the Gigondas is the wine that when poured jumps up and down and demands attention. It’s a wine of sheer pleasure full of ripe fruit and with a depth and even slightly brooding sense that comes from the important Mourvedre component. Yet is has refinement complexity length and has a terrific ability to age. Majority Grenache the wine also benefits from Syrah and Mourvedre.
