Saint Damien - Gigondas Blanc | Vieilles Clairettes
White wine | France, RHONE | 2025
Bright golden yellow in colour. The nose reveals refined aromas of white flowers, citrus and ripe white fruit, complemented by mineral notes, subtle spice and a delicate touch of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with an elegant tension between fruit and freshness. The old Clairette vines bring depth and a distinctive mineral structure, while ageing in oak adds further roundness and complexity. The finish is long, refined and refreshing.

Vinification
This exceptional Gigondas Blanc comes from very old Clairette vines, planted in 1956 on sandy soils. The old vines and sandy terroir give the wine great finesse, minerality and texture. The wine is fermented in oak barrels and subsequently aged in barrel, allowing the oak to integrate harmoniously without overpowering the fruit.
