Gold medal winning Gigondas from Celine and Bernard Chauvet.
The ageing of this wine is done in oak barrels, for 14 months, allowing the wine to air, to acquire roundness and soften its tannins.
This wine is Estate-bottled with our own bottling system
A brilliant deep ruby red colour with intense aromas of red fruits, pepper, spice and liquorice. It’s a full bodied and powerful wine, well balanced with a very long finish. Very rich and elegant and a must for Rhone fans.
