Saint Damien - Les Souteyrades | Gigondas | BIO Grenache - Mourvèdre | 5+1 promo
Red wine | France, RHONE | 2024
Deep ruby red in colour. The nose is expressive and characterful, with aromas of ripe blackcurrants and plums, complemented by the freshness of raspberries, pepper, garrigue and subtle notes of cedar, leather and black olives. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, firm and concentrated, with powerful flavour and structure, fine yet present tannins and pleasant freshness. The finish is long, spicy and elegant.

Vinification
This Gigondas comes from the Les Souteyrades lieu-dit, located at 150 metres above sea level on the lower terraces of the appellation, with grey, calcareous clay soils. The vineyard is planted with Grenache, planted in 1948, and Mourvèdre, planted in 1977. Following the assemblage, the wine undergoes a long seven-week maceration in large concrete vats. It is then aged for 12 months in old oak foudres. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

About Domaine Saint Damien
